Further crazy suggestion: I wonder if parts of the D-series transmissions can be adapted to the Fit engine. It seems the Fit tranny is on the driver side, instead of passenger side, so obviously it's no "bolt-on." BUT it otherwise looks superficially similar to the D-series tranny. I wonder whether any of the D-series gears can be swapped into the Fit's transmission.

Here is a 2007-2008 Fit manual transmission pic and a d-series tranny for comparison. The clutch lever design, the input shaft, the VSS location, the general shape of the bell housing are all kinda similar. Many other things are notably different.

Fit:

D-series:

I wonder if the gears are at all similar and if any--especially the final drive--could be swapped. Does anyone know where you get a 2007-2008 Honda Fit factory service manual for free?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
