Subscribing.
Really basic question I am betting you already have the answer to: Honda reversed the engine/transmission placement beginning 2005 or 2006, right? Are the FIT and Gen1 Civic Hybrid compatible in that regard? Can you turn the engine around in the engine bay if necessary?
And hoping that this inspires me to break open my 6th Gen DX transmission to inspect it. I might rebuild it or play with swapping a VX FD and countershaft that I have had on hand a long time. I know the results are possibly known. My project is just for experience and skill building and reviving my old trans.
Tthe G1 Insight FD and your project... hmmm ... the benefit might be kinda small for your project. And given that you also want a quick car, not just a fuel economy champ... well 3.2 is way wicked tall, hey. I have 3.25 and 15" rims. Way tall!
I love these hybrid power/FE projects. Like PGFPRO's great work.

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.
