Re: auto trans w/o torque converter



Hi, Gary,

What about Hondas? I've been intrigued by the idea of converting a Honda
Civic wagon to EV and there's a white one available locally with AT.
Seems like a great way to get a four-passenger EV with lots of battery
space and pretty good load-carrying capacity. I know -- they revolve
backwards. Do you know if anyone has done an AT Honda EV?
