EF Civic D-Series Clutch

If there is any money left in the budget, now is the time for a new clutch because the tranny is ready to go back on the engine. In this case, the car is also getting a complete set of Hasport mounts and the rear mount gets you a new bracket. If you don't get the complete mount kit, the only mount that is included is the tranny mount. Since your car is likely almost 20 years old, don't you think all-new mounts would be a good idea?

Once the rear mount is swapped, the transmission goes on the engine. The installation isn't a whole lot different from its removal. This tranny is a '96 EX with the ZC LSD and matching axles but a straight EX (or any similar tranny) will bolt right in with the axles you already have. Connect the reverse sensor wires, the speedo cable and the clutch cable.

What makes all this work so nicely is the Hasport billet linkage that makes use of simple physics to operate what would otherwise be a big, hairy man clutch pedal action. With no more effort than a hydraulic tranny, the clutch pedal easily pushes to the floor. For that, we give Hasport an A in physics.

The entire point of this swap was to take a tired and perhaps broken tranny and replace it with a more modern and plentiful unit. The new, stronger mounts, and maybe even an LSD, can be part of the game and for hardly any more time you can also have a new clutch. This ought to make the D-series guys happy again.

Simple leverage makes it possible for your leg to push in the clutch pedal with ease.

But wait, there's more. Hasport has also produced a complete mount kit for EFs with D-series engines. You can see the old mounts next to the much more serious Hasport units.
