If you order a obd1 auto b16a tranny they don't require a TCM and may be easier to wire in. Does the d series motor for an ek have a TCM? If not get the b16a auto tranny.

Tranny mounts will need to be a combo of stock and custom parts. I was going to do this for a customer a while ago but that fell through and have done auto eg swaps before.

How I would go about doing it:
- Use the stock crv/si drivers side engine mount bracket and skirt.
- Use the stock DC auto teg rear tranny bracket and re-drill the rear mount hole so that the motor sits straight. This had to be done on all b series swaps into ek's before the 99 si came out with a new rear T bracket. You could try the stock crv bracket but I think it may not fit due to the AWD crv tranny mounting different.
- You may need to cut a section of the passenger side frame rail to clear the tranny, box what you cut out back in with min. 1/8" sheet steel. This had to be done on eg swaps. May be able to be done with a hammer also but cutting and welding works better IMO.
- I would first try to run the stock crv upper tranny mount and frame rail bracket. If that didn't fit I would fabricate a new frame rail bracket to fit that mount.
- Front tranny I would try the stock crv bracket and stock chassis mount. If that doesn't fit I would re-use the stock mount and fabricate a new mount bracket.
