EK manual engine swap into EK auto

[SPONGY]

Hey peeps,

I've got a manual EK (donor car) and I want to swap the engine over to an Automatic EK civic.
I am wanting to remove the manual gearbox, replace it with the auto and place it into my Auto EK civic.

Would this process be as easy as replacing the gearbox attached to the engine or is there any issues to be aware of or is it even possible?

Would anyone on here be able to do the job?

Thanks.

Flywheel will have to be changed and torque converter fitted. Possibly the wiring loom from the old engine? Anything else idk.

wiring, ecu and transmission mount needs to be changed from memory


give byp or similar a call. theres a few shops in sydney are that could do it

So basically I have everything I need.
If i remove both engines + gearboxes and use the auto setup as a reference to make the changes on the manual setup that should be fine right?
Once the donor engine is matched with the auto gearbox I can drop it in the auto EK that has the ecu and everything.

Is it as simple as it seems lol

oh i just realised you want to keep auto wasnt paying attention

just swap motor over, everything else stays the same

Can't swap the ECU unless you swap the keys as well due to the immobiliser.

what if you remove immobiliser from ecu

Pm 'ecu man'

John can reprogram your ecu for a good price.You wont need to swap keys.

I went from auto to manual..

pretty sure op's just replacing the stock motor with another one, should be a straight plug n play affair
shouldn't need to swap harnesses or ecu's

[SPONGY]

Jobs all done, everything went fine. just re-used the auto harness on the donor engine.
I didn't have to replace anything in relation to the ecu or immobilizer, swapped over gearbox components.
Some may have got confused with the swap .. basically I was using an engine from a manual setup and swapping it into my auto ek.

Ps. thank you all for the advice and support
let me know if you have any questions... was a pretty simple swap

[beeza]

Haha yeah I was confused. I just threw that out there. .

hi vinny!! Good to see your still around mate.
