USDM 4wd Civics were produced from approx 1983 to 1991. The 4wd
transmission you're looking for is from the 1988 to 1991 type.
I am uncertain if the 83-87 transmission will bolt to a 95 d15.

I've heard the 4wd in the wagons sucked.

There is a CRX that successfully mated a CR-V 4wd system to it's chassis, but I forgot the link.

After trying to decipher your incredibly vague question, I'm assuming you want to "bolt" a RealTime 4WD drivetrain into a '95 Civic? If so, the answer is no, it won't "bolt in" to your car.

Yes, the '92-95 EH1 Civic RTSi sedan may have had RT-4WD, but you don't have one of those now, do you? If you have to ask, it's a waste of your time. Find another pipe-dream.

You mean that one? Thats a B series setup with a CRV rear end, though. Just bolting to the D series awd is easier. Speaking of links, there's a whole site devoted to civic wagons that I can't remember the link to...

You point out what I had overlooked: he's not bolting to a motor, he's wanting to bolt to a car. Not so easy dude, there's a reason no one does this.

I'm still clueless as to what exactly he is asking.

A '95 D15 will bolt onto an RT-4WD wagon and work fine with the obvious wiring modifications, but a RT-4WD drivetrain isn't going to just bolt into a USDM '95 Civic.

I was wondering the same thing myself, which is one of the points that led me to assume that he wanted to put the drivetrain into a '95 Civic. Plus, since he was asking for years, I am pretty confident that he doesn't already have a RT4WD wagon waiting for a new engine . . .

That would be cool if you modded the civic wagon and all... but the LSD on those things really sucks and the power distribution is bad. And theyre heavy. I would personally choose another car. I'd do the front wheel drive wagon, however. I think that would be a cool project.

The power distribution is fine, I don't know where you got these false ideas from. In a front wheel drive car, where is the weight? In the front. So riddle me this, why would you need alot of power spinning the back wheels? Thanks for seeing it my way.

Also, for having the added drivetrain and extra body pieces they are not that much heavier. I believe the weight is in the neighborhood of 2,300-2,500ish.

The RT4WD system is very effective in the snow, I know from first hand experience.

If you want more information on wagons and their drivetrain, visit http://www.hondacivicwagon.com or join the Yahoo group.

I've never driven one, so I was prolly misinformed. Give it a shot and tell us how it goes.
