4wd wagon parts might be harder to come by (IE tranny parts) so be prepared to have alot of downtime if your car may break.

I'm just going off what the parts catalog calls them here:

1988 CIVIC WGN ** WAGOVAN (4AT/5MT)
1988 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (5MT)
1988 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)
1989 CIVIC WGN ** WAGOVAN (4AT/5MT)
1989 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (4AT/5MT)
1989 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)
1990 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (4AT/5MT)
1990 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)
1991 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (4AT/5MT)
1991 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)

Am I missing something?

the 6 speed really aint shat. its just a super low gear for snow and schtuff. its mainly a conversation piece these days. but yea i think they made the 4wd 5 speed as well. maybeee not. oh well it dont matta. go b series! haha i wonder if you can swap crv parts over.

They were all 6 speed. Though the 6th gear which is basically half of first, isn't in a sequential position.

would be fun if you could swap in ZC 1~4, Si 5th, and then hf 5th.
Or maybe even ZC 1~5 and then hf 5th for freeway.

Totally doubt it would be possible, but a D series 6 speed... nice.

no the later 89-91 wagons were a rt awd (real time ) so all wheels start to push when the front slips like on a subaru. the early ones were just a low 4 wheel drive.
