I was wondering has any done this, found plenty of folks that has taken their HF and put a D15z1, What about taking the Federal Hf Transmission and putting it into the VX. As per previous research done on this swap, I should technically be able to maintain lean burn at 80 MPH as RPMs are less than 2500 at that speed. Don't know how much of an improvement this would be over an original Civic VX tho...

Basically, I need to know exactly what is needed to complete this swap as I know that the HF trans is cable while the VX trans is hydraulic. I heard that the trans mount is different and the throw out bearing actuation is different.

There are some conversion kits but I don't know too much about which one I need for what I want to do. Here an example:
B/D/H/K Series Cable to Hydraulic Conversion at Innovate Mounts
It would be nice if there was a used one of these for sale....it is quite expensive.
