I picked up a nice Civic Dx with just over a 100k for a commuter . The tranny was messed up . Drive3 and OD had very little “pull” barely any tesion unless u put the pedal to the floor . Checked all the shift solenoids and they were fine so I am gonna swap in a tranny from a 1993 dx I pulled a cpl years ago for a 5speed swap . Its low mileage I just need to know what/how to swap the sensors. The new tranny has a sensor on the tail that the old tranny didn’t come with . No hole no mount . Do I need to swap the whole rear housing ? Any info would be great guys Ive been outta the game for a long time . Thanks . ---

I took it as he had an auto trans from a '93 Dx he pulled in favor of doing a 5spd swap a few years back. I thought he was just replacing and auto with an auto. ---
