I have a 1990 CRX HF and am getting a ZC. Should I use the trans that came with the car or for gearing reasons go with one from an SI, DX, or JDM ZC?

If I get the matching JDM trans, what gear weight and clutch do I use?

Thanks!

 

Well I love the ZC trans, No torque steer, but you need 90-93 non ABS TEG axels, And I think you need hubs too with the HF, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.. I had a 2 Si transmissions before they were nice but had wicked torque steer. But was able to use me stock DX axels. Ultimate is ZC trans with Si final drive and HF 5th gearset. Advantage of the ZC trans is its likely to have far fewer miles on it than and Si trans you will find. A search can give you a lot more info on this also. Been covered a lot in the past.

How much for hubs and zc axles?

 

Well I paid $78 each for remanufactured ones at Trak auto with a $50 core charge, but they are much cheaper at a junkyard for used ones. Make sure they are 90-93 Integra not the older ones. As far as the hubs you need to call a local junkyard, I guess there are big differences in price depending on where you live. I started with a DX which already has the same hubs as an Si. T I think the HF and Std have smaller hubs and maybe brakes too. You way want to inquire on knuckle hub, brake assy if you can find them like that. Anyone else do this to confirm that info is correct. I am 100% certain on the axles as thats what I am running right now. And its more enjoyable to drive not having to fight the wheel during spirited driving. As opposed to the Si trans I was running before. I pulled that due to bad bearings. Got tired of overpriced worn out Si gearboxes. Went through 2 of those.
