Hey, I did a swap last year into my ED Civic hatch of a B16A Gen 1. I swapped everything, wiring looms, dash, motor,tranny,frontend drive shadts brakes the lot. It all came from a 1990 EF9 SIR Jap Spec half cut. It has been great but over the last month the wheel bearings, CV's and gearbox have all pretty much died. I put new wheel bearings and CV's in it and discovered that these are the same as on a 1989 prelude, which seems to make sence given the bigger motor as they are all heavier duty than the original ED gear was. My question is what is the best way to replace the box since they are rare to find for the B16A. Can i get a 1989 B series box from a Prelude or should I try to find the original box or should I consider repairing the current one. Any advice or ideas or suggestions where to go would be greatly appreciated.
