Vehicle Fitment
This transmission serves as a direct replacement for the following North American models:
Honda CR-V AWD (LX, EX): 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001
Chassis Code: RD1
Compatibility Note: This is for the AWD/4WD model. If your CR-V is Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) only, you will need the 2WD variant of this transmission, as the AWD casing includes the necessary output for the rear driveshaft transfer assembly.
JDM to USDM Installation & Technical Guide
To ensure 100% OBDII compliance and a smooth swap, professional Honda technicians recommend these “External Swap” steps:
Solenoid Transfer: You must transfer your original USDM Shift Solenoids and Harness from your old transmission to the JDM unit. JDM plugs and electrical resistance values can occasionally differ; using your original solenoids ensures the ECU recognizes the components instantly.
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS): Reuse your original USDM Speed Sensor. This ensures your speedometer remains 100% accurate and prevents any cruise control or ABS communication errors.
Transfer Case Check: Ensure the JDM transfer case output flange matches your USDM driveshaft. In some cases, it is easier to swap your original USDM Transfer Case onto the JDM transmission housing for a perfect fit.
Fluid Requirements: Use only Genuine Honda ATF-DW1 (or the older Z1 equivalent). First-gen CR-V transmissions are highly sensitive to fluid quality; avoid generic “Multi-Vehicle” fluids to prevent harsh shifting and premature internal wear.
What is included
You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.
Before you order
- Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
- Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
- Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
- Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
