EK K Swap AWD Civic Build - Transmission - Episode 1 - Can We Put a 6th Gear In a 5 Speed??

[@bertjeffers9752]

Great content. I love it!. . . wanted to let ya know Honda did this!. . . your can find 6 speed manual AWD CRV transmissions on ebay in Australia. Problem is they will not ship to the US. . . I heard this model of CRV was also available in India also. Honda-tech forums also mentioned how to do this yourself with a RSX S 6th and the appropriate spacers(can be purchased from most honda acrua parts departments). Good luck!

[@berttnotbought804]

Thanks for the info! That explains why our case was the same part number as the 6 speed RSX. I’m glad this has been done and figured it had. Just decided to find out for ourselves to gain agreement from SQS to get a dogbox 😂🤘🏻 thanks for the view and well wishes. Glad to have you stop by the channel!

[@MissChristineC1990]

Confirmed, The EP3 is the same thing. I used gears 3-6 from the EP3 typeR along with forks on my CRV main and counter shaft. Now have a 6 speed AWD box. :)

[@berttnotbought804]

Glad to hear this research isn’t as limited as I thought. That’s awesome!

[@streetbuiltgarage6825]

Did you have a reverse lockout? And if not, any issues from 5-6 shift?

[@MissChristineC1990]

@@streetbuiltgarage6825 I used the reverse lockout from the EP3 on the the CRV box. Yes it works and no issues between gears

[@BEYTEK]

Really enjoyed the video mate. Kswap awd is in my future sp subbed to see how ya get on

[@berttnotbought804]

Glad to have you on board man! I’m in the middle of a home remodel so videos will be slow for a bit but I promise I will be cranking them out ASAP. 🤘🏻 stay tuned! This AWD system will be a 1 of 1

Probably a good video for people who broke their 6 speed housings wanting to know if they can get a much cheaper junkyard 5 speed trans housing and keep their gears. Nice video, I love a good time-lapse

[@berttnotbought804]

Wait till you see the next one. The R&D worked. Lol

[@rallydrew]

@@berttnotbought804 can't wait haha

[@berttnotbought804]

Next week sometime. It’s stuck in customs right now.

[@streetbuiltgarage6825]

Yes sir it does

[@jeffowen9307]

Great Video- I have SQS Dog Kits available here at GEAR-X USA, We actually had SQS put together a 4 speed kit with a 5th cuff of which we have sold several kits here in the USA. We also have a much more reasonably priced GEAR-X 4, 5, or 6 Speed Dog kit which will handle NA up to 600HP which may be a better alternative for those on a tighter budget.

[@berttnotbought804]

Jeff - really glad you stopped by with this info. I appreciate it, and the kind words. I looked through GEAR-X at the time and did not see the SQS option. I should have called. Getting mine sourced was a real challenge. I will be sure to call you in the future as I still need to decide on a FD ratio and an LSD. That being said I will make sure the info/options you provided make it into the next video. I don’t have a big reach but maybe it will help a couple people. It was a tough decision for me and I’d like to make it easier on the next guy staring down the barrel of a purchase like this. Thanks man!! Brett

[@jeffowen9307]

@@berttnotbought804 Hi Brett, yeah we also had lots of problems trying to set up a direct deal with SQS who don’t actually do the manufacturing! They also are just a distributor. We now deal direct with the manufacturing company in Poland and we have a permanent order of 10 AWD B Series And 10 FWD Dog kits that are selling quicker than we can get them. We also have on order ( About 3 Months out) 2 New K Series Dog kits. One for Turbo, one for NA. Keep in touch. Regards, Jeff

[@berttnotbought804]

This is great to know, I’ll bring all this up. These videos have gotten a decent amount of attention. I will definitely contact you soon. The transmission is hung in the car unfinished to keep working on other parts layout. But it is on my list to finish. I’ll give you a call directly to see what you offer for the remaining parts I need. I had a lot of trouble with my B series trans. Looking to put that in the past as much as possible.

[@mahn_clutch98]

Whats the part number for the Pinion bearing

[@berttnotbought804]

Google 2002 RSX Type S final drive pinion bearing.

[@wickedsatan1]

Are all outer housing of k series transmissions same?

[@berttnotbought804]

No they are not. But the RSX, and CR-V are. I believe the EP3 is as well.

[@demarioconey5554]

Can this work on any awd trans?

[@berttnotbought804]

Element and CR-V are all I can confirm.

[@ShooterMcgavin6]

Can you put a ep3 gear set in an awd box😊

[@berttnotbought804]

Yes. The dog box gear set I put in this CR-V 5spd case is based on an EP3 Type-R 6spd. It can be done

[@H2b.sookie]

So I could get a awd trans case and get 6 gear gust and put them in there

[@berttnotbought804]

I only confirmed the early K series but yes you can.

[@H2b.sookie]

@@berttnotbought804 Thanks

[@tonyharris3205]

Now figure this out for the x and you have a money maker but I’m doubting it’ll be factory gears out of anything.

[@berttnotbought804]

Can you elaborate? I’m willing to look into it for sure if I can understand what you mean better! Are you saying I should look into if an SQS dog box fits in a 10th gen gearbox? If so there’s no option yet from them however I know there are multiple options coming.
