SPCA TRANSMISSION CODE

The complete SPCA identification is one of the most important fitment details.

Honda used multiple automatic transmission codes within the Civic 1.8L family. Therefore, do not purchase a replacement transmission based only on vehicle year and engine displacement.

Before ordering, compare Item 45960 directly with the original transmission.

Verify the transmission code, case and bellhousing configuration, electrical connectors, sensors, solenoids, pressure switches, torque converter, mounts, axle openings and cooler fittings.

Do not automatically assume SPCA, SXEA, MDXA, MWXA, or other Honda Civic transmission codes are interchangeable.

5-SPEED AUTOMATIC FWD

This SPCA is a conventional 5-speed automatic front-wheel-drive transmission.

It is not a CVT. Therefore, do not market this transmission for Honda Civic Hybrid CVT applications.

For current service, use Honda Genuine ATF DW-1 unless current VIN-specific Honda service information specifies otherwise. Do not use Honda HCF-2 CVT fluid.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Before installing Item 45960, thoroughly flush the transmission cooler and cooler lines. A failed automatic transmission can leave contaminated ATF, clutch material and metal debris in the cooling circuit.

Inspect accessible seals before installation, particularly the torque-converter/front seal and axle seals.

Verify whether the torque converter is included with this exact inventory unit. If included, compare it carefully with the original converter.

Make sure the torque converter is completely seated into the transmission before mating the transmission to the engine. Never use bellhousing bolts to force the transmission onto the engine.

After installation, fill the transmission with the correct Honda ATF and verify fluid level according to the applicable Honda service procedure.

Scan the vehicle for transmission-related diagnostic trouble codes and perform applicable reset or learning procedures.

During the initial road test, verify Reverse, Drive, all five forward shifts, downshifts and torque-converter lockup. Check for slipping, shift flare, delayed engagement, abnormal noises, warning lights and fluid leaks.

Keep the original transmission until Item 45960 has been successfully installed and road-tested.
