2010 Acura CSX 2.0L K20Z2 5-Speed Manual Transmission

This used JDM 5-speed manual gearbox comes from a 2010 Acura CSX fitted with the 2.0L K20Z2 engine, using a cable-operated SPTM shift design rather than a rod-linkage setup. It suits both a factory-style CSX replacement and K-series swap projects that call for this specific cable shift pattern.

What makes the CSX gearbox distinct

Because the CSX was sold in Canada rather than the US market, this transmission is less common than typical EP3 or DC2 units, but it shares compatibility with the wider K-series family, including the K20Z2, K20A, and K24A engine codes. The SPTM cable design is the detail to confirm against your own shift linkage before ordering, since it differs from older Honda rod-shift setups.

Before you order

Check your engine code and shifter type against the K20Z2/SPTM cable specification here, since swapping into a Civic, Integra, or Accord chassis may require matching cable-shift hardware. As a used, imported unit, expect wear consistent with a tested, running transmission; confirm mileage and inspection details with us before ordering rather than assuming new condition.

Common questions

Is this a cable or rod-linkage shifter? Cable-operated, using the SPTM design.

Will it swap into a Civic 8th Gen? It's compatible with the Canadian 8th-generation Civic platform that shares the CSX's K-series base.

Is this a direct bolt-in for a CSX? Yes, it's sourced as a direct factory-style replacement for the 2010 CSX before being considered for any swap application.
