Swap out CVT for regular automatic transmission

[Adrian]

This is a question for the Honda mechanics on this site: Is it possible to swap out a CVT transmission in a 2001-2005 Civic GX with a regular Civic automatic transmission? If yes, what parts would have to be changed out, and if no, why not?

It seems that as long as the '01-'05 Civic GX are stuck with CVT's they will never be reliable. Such a swap would surely make many people happy.

Hi Adrian;

The mechanical would probably be the easy part, better check the computer tie-ins, that may be a real bear; you know what they say about bears?

It may take some re programing if possible.
