Default 1987 Civic 5 spd.

Can 5th. gear in a 1987 civic 5 spd. trans be removed / eliminated / bypassed or in any way be disengaged to leave only 4 forward gears? Thanks.

short answer, no

But again, why on earth would you want to remove a gear?

LMAO!! -> Me on the phone with my girlfriend.
ME - why would anybody want to remove 5th gear?
My girlfriend - "Maybe he wants to make more room for 4th gear?"
ME -

The class I want to race in requires a 4 spd.. However, I don't think I'll be able to find a factory 4 spd. for this car so I'm trying to think of any possible alternatives to get through tech. You guys are probably all too young to know that years ago we would in fact machine off 1st. gear to reduce rotating mass in Chevy 4 spds. for oval track racing. Old "technology". Thanks.

If you want a 4 spd 3rd gen civic tranny find one off a dx model. I know 3rd gen dx's have 4 spds for sure, i used to own one.

I have an 87 crx to and I dont think you can do that. I mean you could but you might need to think about a different gear ratio.
