how long should the life of a CRX transmission be?
i ask this because our cars wont last forever, and im saving up money for a CRX si this summer. But i dont want to buy it and then find out that most CRX trannys are going to suck no matter what clutch or oil you use in like, 5 or so years.

just a simple question

thanks

 

i ripped out my b-series lsd in my tranny within a year of getting the engine installed. it all depends on the driver

 

Practically infinite. My dads Si hatch has 275k miles, good as new. There are plenty of cars with twice as many miles driving around. Properly maintaned and treated, the transmission is the last thing to worry about.

thanks, it is sort of obvious now that i think of it.
thanks!

 

It all depends on the driver, but Honda transmission should last long (about 10-15 years).

 

My mom's 89 dx hatch "pretty nice too" has about 200 thou* miles on it, and the tranny is fine. "but she's a good shifter/driver and takes it easy all the time.

 

my 91 dx had to get rebuilt around 183K, thats 15 years of driving.

 

My input shaft bearing went out after 155k and I drove with it buzzing all day long until 180k
