You are probably best off to stick with another 83 tranny. However, if you cannot, check with a wrecking yard that works with Honda's a lot. They have interchange books that can give you the information you want. From personal experience (I owned an 82 Prelude and an 84 CRX), Honda changed a lot of things every year in the early 80's, and it may not be possible to do a simple tranny swap. You may have to change the engine and transmission as a unit.
Nope
Bolted to the rear of the engine. Normally it is on the drivers side, but not always.
Yes, you just have to disconnect the two from each other before you pull the engine.
can u put a tranny from a 98 Honda civic lx in to a 97 Honda civic dx
yes. same body, same chassis. it'll fit right in. but you must have all the necessities: motor, tranny, ecu, mounts. enjoy

If the 1998 is a Civic then yes it will fit.

no They are different seires of engines one is a ew3 and the other is an a series
he's a better driver. plain and simple, sorry to burst your bubble. is you engine originally like that or did you put in the vtec motor (im assuming D16Z6 SOHC vtec) and used the regular tranny that was already in the car. if you swapped the motor in and used your CX, VX, or DX tranny, the gearing in the tranny is different and could cause you to be slower.
