1996 Sidekick JLX Sport 1.8l Auto Transmission replacement with 1.6l? - ARMONKEYBOY - 04-27-2023 Brand new here and happy to have found / joined. I have a 1996 sidekick JLX Sport 1.8l and need to replace the auto trans. I can't find a 1.8l and I have seen that the 1.6l will work, but you have to use 1.8i bell housing. Is this true? I sincerely hope that it is as I have put approximately $7k into this little monkey, and I need it to finally take me down the road. Can anyone help me with this little problem? I would be forever grateful. Thank you in advance!
