it can be a real pain in the ass... even more so when the engine is still in the car and the front end is up in the air.

I have researched a D16A6 swap into a 92-95 civic for almost a year, so I thought I had 99% of the answers. I will be making a FAQ post on a few forums to bust all the BS about this swap. I read that ALL d series tranny were basically the same except 88-89 they had smaller discs. WRONG. The trans out of my 95 civic cx is way different than my 90 si trans. Different size disc, splines, pilot bearing everything. So I didn't ruin the clutch it just didn't fit. People praise the internet why? LOL.

exactly!

my buddy had a 91 hatch that was auto and went to swap an 88 si tranny and the ACT clutch and pressure plate didnt fit because he got it for the 91 motor not the 88 trans
