Best transmission for a D15b7?

Does the D16A8 box fit? I thought it wasn't compatible because it's DOHC.

I'd get a Y1 box personally.

it doesnt fit because of different input shaft and housing size, not because its dohc.

That's not what I meant. I meant that SOHC and DOHC aren't compatible, not because of their cams, but that that was a good rule to remember when considering interchangeability.

Saint if you're happy to settle for a D15 tranny there's a couple of manuals at the car-yard near me, or I can try a wrecker or two. Hondwreck is pretty decent.
