i have a 89 civic hatchback si, the gear shifter has a 4 speed ball on it i have swapped to a different motor..but i have a five speed, is there any way to tell where this transmission came from because i know that this car came with a 4 speed though i thought that the si came with a 5 speed

 

If your transmission is a 5-speed, then its either gonna be a dx or si trans; give some rpm to speed figures so we can figure it out. If its a 4-speed tranny, then it came from the civic STD.

 

^^ dont agree all the way^^--5 speed trannys came only came in 2 cars ..the.. crx hf and civic/crx si..anything dx from 88-91 was 4 speeds...unless u wanna get real tecnical.. you have the 5 speed.. zc..hf..ex all 5 speeds

Ugh.

88-91 Civic Std: 4-speed. (owned it...)
88-91 Civic/CRX DX: 5-speed.
88-91 Civic/CRX Si: 5-speed. (owned it...)
88-91 CRX HF: 5-speed. (owned it...)
88-91 JDM Sumthing or other: DOHC ZC tranny: 5-speed.

And I guess to be a dick...
88-91 wagovan: 6-speed. .

STD' civic,,nothing else has a 4spd manual..maybe you should run a carfax to make sure you really have an "SI" http://www.carfax.com

 

i have a sohc vtec d15b with whatever transmission i have now..i shift into 2 gear at like 35 6k rpm, 3 65-70, 4 102? something like that i dont know if i like the gearing that much first is too short for my liking ...what else could i get to get better gearing plus if i went to the hydraulic transmission route how hard is this too do anyone got any pics of setups with hydraulic transmission

Really anything dx was a 4 spd? You sir are wrong as the dx was a 5 speed. Next time if you wanna flash your knowledge at least know what the expletive your talking about before doing so. "unless you wanna get real technical" wtf is this supposed to mean? How can you get real technical if you dont know ****? STD's were 4 spd, DX and si's were 5 spd like i originally said.
