I've done an auto b16a swap into an auto 93 sedan. They can be done but it is a pain in the ass. On a crx it would likely be a weld in job as I am almost positive no one has bothered making a mount kit. The only way to know would be to pull the motor and see what there is to work with. The auto sedan swap took alot of cutting, grinding, and swearing.

I'd consider doing an auto to manual which is not too dificult compared to keeping it auto.

A friend of mine swapped an auto LS into an auto del Sol. It is a pain in the ass. The tranny mount bracked on the frame has to be cut off and re-welded on. In a CRX, that is going to require the same or some kind of custom mount. Wiring is a pain in the ass because the LS auto tranny has it's own seperate computer to wire up. He got it all running great until he put a turbo on it. After going through three supposed "performance" tranny rebuilds, he swapped it out for a 5 speed. My advice to you, if you plan to boost or spray the motor, do the 5 speed conversion. If you are still interested in all the details of the auto swap, pm me and I'll get you in contact with my friend.
