Installation notes

Yes — the 6-speed manual transmission from a 2001–2006 Honda Integra Type R (DC5) fits a K-swapped 1996–2000 Honda Civic (EK) with K-swap mounts, a DC5 intermediate shaft and K-swap axles. Mighty Car Mods documents a K-swapped EK built with the Y2M3 six-speed from a DC5 Integra Type R, mounted with a factory DC5 gearbox bracket and Hasport EKK2 mounts on a DC2 Integra subframe, with Hasport EP-EGKAX driveshafts and a new DC5 intermediate shaft. Its main appeal over an RSX Type-S gearbox is the factory limited-slip differential. Hasport's EGK2 mount kit for EG Civics is listed for K20A-family transmissions.

Required modifications

Only for a Civic already being K-swapped. The documented EK build used Hasport EKK2 mounts with an EG/DC2 subframe, a factory DC5 Integra gearbox bracket, a DC5 Integra intermediate shaft (new from Honda) and Hasport EP-EGKAX conversion driveshafts. A DC5/RSX-type shifter box and cables are also needed; K-Tuned's DC5 Type R shifter box is listed for K-swapped EF, EG, EK and DC2 chassis. On EG/DC2 cars the Hasport EGK2 kit covers K20A-family transmission patterns.

Caution

Important caveats

  • The Y2M3 transmission code comes from one build write-up; confirm the code on the case before buying.
  • Mounts, subframe and axles must be chosen together: the documented build used Hasport EKK2 mounts with a DC2 Integra subframe, and axle sets differ between that layout and the stock EK subframe.
  • The Hasport EGK2 product page lists K20A-family transmission patterns but does not name the DC5 Type R gearbox specifically.
  • JDM DC5 Type R gearboxes are imported used units; check the LSD and synchros before fitting.
  • No OEM part numbers were confirmed for this entry.
