Installation notes

Yes — the K24A1 and AWD manual transmission from a 2002-2006 Honda CR-V fits a 1997-2001 Honda CR-V (RD1) with Hasport's RD1KMAWD mount kit, FCS Race shock forks and RD1 K-swap axles, keeping all-wheel drive. Hasport describes the swap as largely bolt-in apart from some subframe modification. An automatic AWD version of the kit (RD1KAAWD) also exists. It replaces the RD1's B20B/B20Z with a K20 or K24.

Required modifications

Swap mounts: Hasport RD1KMAWD (K-series with 2002-2005/06 CR-V AWD manual transmission) or RD1KAAWD (AWD automatic). Both use the stock RD1 subframe with some subframe modification. Hasport states specialty shock forks from FCS Race are required to clear the axles. Axles: Hasport offers RD1 K-swap axles by email. Also needed: engine harness and ECU integration, cooling, exhaust and intake for the K-series, and matching the rear driveline to the 2nd-gen AWD transfer case.

Caution

Important caveats

  • Hasport states the kit works only with the stock RD1 subframe and that some subframe modification is needed.
  • Specialty shock forks from FCS Race are required for axle clearance; Hasport says modifying OEM forks is at the owner's risk.
  • Hasport's page lists the donor transmission as 2002-2005 CR-V, while Hybrid Racing lists 2002-2006; confirm the gearbox year with Hasport.
  • Hybrid Racing marks this kit as discontinued (June 2026), so availability may be limited.
