hey i recently bolted on a turbo kit to my 02 civic with a D15y4 engine, problem is its a foreign used with a cvt transmission, it worked for a few days but recently the tranny started slipping while driving and engine light on the dash comin on. i guess this is because the cvt cant handle the extra jamming. i have opted for a gearbox since. only problem now is a gearbox for th d15y4 engine is not easily available. will the gearbox from the 99 civic (d15z engine) or the d15b engine be compatible with the d15y4 engine? or if anyone has any suitable alternatives please help.

nope, the gearboxes from civics 2000 and backwards wont work on your application as the 2001+ civics use a cable type gearbox and the 92-00 do not!
talk about sheit outta luck
