I know the trannies are different, but does that mean that the crankshafts are different as well?
I’m trying to build a b18a to swap into my 90gs, but don’t want to end up having something that won’t swap in.
If the crankshafts aren’t different, does that mean I can put in a 92-93 tranny with the 92-93 axles?
I did search, but couldn’t find anything that answered these questions.
Thanks
Hey just so you know, just about every Bseries part is interchangable. So yes you can use a 92-93 tranny. And I believe the cranks are the same. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

The cranks are the same and you can use any b-series tranny on your teg except for the CRV tranny.
The differences come in the clutch disks. The disk for the 90-91 and the 92-93 is different due to the different input shaft in the trannies.
Anything else you need to know??

so the axles are the same, the cranks are the same. In order to put in a 92-93 tranny, all I need to change is the clutch that I’m using including pressure plate. The flywheel is the same for either tranny.
Is this all correct?
Thanks
Yes the flywheels, and pressure plates are the same for all b-series motors. The splines on the clutch are different, I believe the 90-91 Integra is 25 spline, while the 92-93 is 26 Spline. That is the only difference. Hell if it’s an OEM clutch you can buy just the clutch disc and swap it over.

Yes you can, but if it has been used a lot and/or driven hard you should get a whole new kit. You wouldnt want any imperfections from the pressure plate scarring your new disk.
It is always recommended that you change out the pressure plate and the clutch disk at the same time. While your in there it would be a good idea to put in a new release bearing and spring.

My bad, B R has a good point. It is recommended to swap out the whole clutch assembly. I was saying if you want to swap and get on with driving , then just buy the disc. I personally would change out the whole assembly. Good luck and I hope this has helped!!!
Ok, that cleared it up for me. Thanks guys.
Now I went back to Leif’s archived clutch install, and can’t figure out what holds the clutch disk in there. It seems to just be held on by the install tool, then the pressure plate is bolted over it, but not to it. I’m confused. :argh:
The clutch alignment tool holds the clutch disc, while you install the pressure plate. The pressure plat presses the clutch disc against the flywheel. The Transmission input shaft, goes through the clutch when you reassemble the engine to transaxle. Whenever you step on the pedal an arm comes forward and presses on the pressure plate which in turns takes the pressure off the clutch (Disengages tranny from engine) So that you can shift and then re-engage the tranny and continue to gain speed. Basically it act likes a Brake but in reverse order. Pressure is always on the clutch, while pressure is only on the rotor when you brake. I hope this has helped.
Ok, i can visualize everthing except how the mechanism to release the pressure plate works. The tabs in the center push the clutch against the flywheel, right? So what pulls all those tabs back at the same time?

Well there are made of steele, and when you bend it in, when there is nothing pressing against the bend back out.
