6 speed tranny from euro?

RonsFG1 · 04-29-2008, 09:19 PM

does the euro civic has the same motor in our ex, lx, dx but with a 6 speed tranny? anybody knows if it'll work in our cars?

mitsukaiSI · 04-29-2008, 09:24 PM

no the euro r has a six speed k series the non r is a 5 speed

RonsFG1 · 04-29-2008, 11:19 PM

oh, thought they had a r18 in the regular hatchbacks in euro with 6 speed

mitsukaiSI · 04-29-2008, 11:59 PM

I don't think they have any 6 speed manuel in any lower trim models rsx only type a and type r have six s2k the higher end accord and a few others but I doubt the other civic have a 6 speed as far as I know the new si is the first civic to ever have a 6 speed

I believe the euro civic is called the Civic Type S, and yes it seems to be the R18 with a 6speed...

yea, i knew there was a 6 speed tranny for our r18! is the 6th gear for gas savor or is it like the si gearbox?

mitsukaiSI · 04-30-2008, 06:23 PM

wow I stand corrected thats awsome... Why wouldnt they put the 6 on usdm models???

NickC89 · 04-30-2008, 06:32 PM

Different motor...in the US we have the R18A1 and in Euro they have the A2. I dont know the differences though.

mitsukaiSI · 04-30-2008, 06:48 PM

yes that wouldnt matter though I mean u can swap an ep3 5speed onto our k20's there shouldn't be any thing to prevent u from swapping an r tranny with another r tranny

RonsFG1 · 04-30-2008, 06:53 PM

yea, as long they are in the same series right? like b series, k series, d series and so on..

NickC89 · 04-30-2008, 07:02 PM

I think they did it because of their gas prices compared to ours...just a guess?

RonsFG1 · 04-30-2008, 07:03 PM

i wouldnt mind having one more gear just for highway uses. prolly save more gas!

NickC89 · 04-30-2008, 07:09 PM

Yeah I know. It would help a lot. I average 32mpg with 50/50 highway and city. I was reading that forum and they average 40+.

RonsFG1 · 04-30-2008, 07:29 PM

i'm sure one day somebody going to do this tranny swap soon enough.

NickC89, They have Imperial Gallons which is bigger than US Gallons.

So in reality they don't get much more MPG
