Why Buy a 1993 Honda Transmission from Auto Power Source
Model year 1993 closes one line and opens another. The Accord is in its final fourth-generation year — a 1994 Accord is fifth-generation on a different transaxle, so a listing that reads "1990-1997 Accord" is covering two separate parts. And 1993 is the del Sol's first model year, which is why the same hardware starts appearing under more than one name in catalogues from here on. We will not sell you across either line.
Nothing on this page is a CVT. Honda's belt CVT arrived later, so every 1993 unit we hold is either a conventional stepped automatic or a manual gearbox. If a seller offers you a 1993 Honda "CVT", the year is wrong, the part is wrong, or both.
Honda's own 1993 listings carry the same hardware under three different labels: ten rows read Civic, ten more read Civic Del Sol with the identical ten spec strings, and three read simply Del Sol. We keep every row under the label it actually carries rather than quietly pooling them, and we will not tell you two differently-labelled units are the same assembly on the strength of a matching spec line. Your VIN settles it.
None of these 28 titles carries a Honda case code, so we do not print one. What the listings do state — automatic or manual, displacement, body style and trim — is what you see in the families table, word for word. Where a title states no displacement we say so instead of guessing. There is no Passport on this page because the Passport did not arrive until 1994, and no Odyssey because the Odyssey did not arrive until 1995.
Every unit is pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, inspected by our ASE-certified technicians, and backed by a three-year warranty plus 30-day money-back. Shipping is free to the lower 48, and we match the donor VIN to your VIN before anything leaves the yard.

1993 Honda Transmission Buying Guide
5 things to verify before buying a used 1993 Honda transmission:
-
Settle the Accord generation first. A 1993 Accord transaxle is fourth-generation, the last of that run. The 1994 car is fifth-generation and takes a different unit, so any listing spanning 1993 and 1994 is describing two parts. Check the year on the donor, not the model name.
-
Know that 1993 is where the del Sol naming starts. The del Sol arrives this year, and from here our listings carry its hardware under Civic, Civic Del Sol and a bare Del Sol label. A 1992 catalogue has no del Sol at all, so any listing claiming one is misdated.
-
Do not cross the del Sol labels. The same specs appear under all three labels in our own listings. Buy the row whose label and spec line both match your car, and let the VIN confirm it — matching spec text alone is not proof of a matching part.
-
Check VTEC on the Prelude, and trim on the Civic. One Prelude manual is stated w/o VTEC and is not a swap for the VTEC-head car; the other is a 2.3L. On the Civic, the trim is the part number: CX, DX, VX, EX and Si run across coupe, hatchback and sedan in 1.5L and 1.6L, and the lean-burn VX has its own gearing.
-
Confirm the match with your own VIN before you order. Your VIN settles the transmission code, drivetrain and build split in one step. Text it to +1-307-441-5554 and we will confirm in writing exactly which unit fits your vehicle before you pay.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any unit ships.
