No, the 5door MB series Civics have "1M" gearboxes.

ahhh firebass, this seems like a worthwhile mod then!

Just wondering how you found fitting the gearbox, was it much of a job?? im bidding on 1 on ebay £70 delivered, its off a 1.4 5 door 1997 civic so i think its the right one.
Did you lose many MPG? :roll:

Cheers, pardoe
