Honda transmission swap?
Hey "honda guys" the "old mechanic" needs some help here! I have a 92 Civic with transmission that slips in second, -- guess this is weak point of Honda! Anyway I see lots of them that do this for sale!
What I would like to find out is whether transmission out of a 89 Accord will fit without a lot of problems! I have good transmission in Accord, but it is about 15 miles from Civic, - so it is hard to do a side by side check! The Civic is very nice otherwise, -- the Accord drives, but would need a lot of external parts and interior work plus paint job to make nice, so hardly is worth the work--- especially if I can swap transmission! Also Accord does not have title!
I have Haynes manual for the Civic, but not Accord, so can't look at pictures and see if appreciably different, -- but bodies look very similar (as if that made a difference!)
After 57 years of fixing cars, I would give the same answer to others! But local salvage yards are not people friendly here! And by experience I know that they will only give exact interchange. With diffrenet brackets, mounts and universasl joints (CVs) many units transfer and work ok! AS for engine, - I expect that is the only thing that bolts up the same! However somebody that has done this before will know!
