Can I put on an 2005 type s tranny in my civic hatch. Would it be a direct bolt in. Right now I have an 03 type s complete swap and my 6th gear grinds. Wondering if there's anything different like the way the mount would fit?

I have a 2000 si with a 05 rsx-s tranny and it fits just fine with the hasport mounts. The only problem I have is that the 05 tranny does not use a mechanical speed sensor like the 02-04 type s. It appears to use a magnetic speed sensor, when we pulled it out there was not a gear on the end of it, just a metal casing that was magnetized. Any way all 3 tranny holes match the hasport kit on the 05 tranny. Good luck finding one though, took me months.

Thanks for clearing up this myth. anyone else use an 05 in thier swap? Can you install a mechanical vss in the 05 trans?
I put a k20z1 engine and tranny into my EP3. You can install the a2 style speed sensor. You need the part honda/acura calls a "clutch cover" from a2, the speed sensor gear, and the speed sensor itself. I believe it's around $500 for both brand new from acura overnighted. Then you need to have a tranny guy open your tranny, install the speed gear, then replace the clutch cover with the a2 one. Then the speed sensor just fits right in.

I speet about $1500 and 3 weeks getting everything worked out. If I had to do it again I'd have to get one hellva a deal on that z1 tranny, or know how to work on trannies myself.
