I’ve seen a post about this before but it led to a dead end, so I figured I’d just ask and see if anybody knows anything.
So, I have a 2008 CR-V FWD and I’m hoping to potentially install a manual transmission. I know the 3rd gens were made with a manual but weren’t available in the states- this at least confirms it’s possible. From what I’ve read on Wikipedia the 3rd gens have the K24A1 engine and the 2nd gens have the K24Z1 (correct me if I’m wrong);I know there were 2nd gens available here.
So my question is: what transmissions would fit on the 3rd gen K24A1? I believe it’s the same as the Civic Si of the same years so would a manual transmission out of that bolt on? Or maybe a 2nd gen CR-V’s?
Right now I’m not looking exactly at how I’d deal with pedal mods to get everything to work- I need to make sure this is feasible before I get into the deep specifics.
Another question: would the manual transmission work with the FWD system or would it all need to be converted to AWD? If it does need to be reworked, how would you go about doing that?
Other than potentially being expensive, is there anything else that might be an issue?
Thanks in advance,
