Default Converting to hydro tranny. VERY CONFUSED!

Hey guys I am looking to convert to a hydro tranny and am really confused about what I need. So here is the info...

<U>CURRENTLY HAVE</U>
1991 CRX Si
B16a Swap
S1 cable Transmission
Hasport Mounts
Axle setup that works. I dont know what they are but they came with the swap.

I want to convert to a 99-00 Civic Si transmission (My car has 325whp and the cable tranny's aren't strong from what I have heard).

<U>THINGS I BOUGHT</U>
Innovative Mounts for a CRX with a Hydro B series tranny
99-00 Civic Si Transmission

<U>I KNOW I WILL NEED</U>
Clutch and axles for 99-00 Civic Si tranny

<U>DO I NEED?</U>
A new halfshaft? Is the S1 cable halfshaft the same as what would be used for a 99-00 civic si tranny? Or do I use a 99-00 Civic Si halfshaft? Something different?

<U>ALSO VERY CONFUSED ABOUT</U>
What axles? I hear some are male on one end female on another, others are both male, The halfshafts vary from male or female ends.

<U>SEMI CONFUSED ABOUT</U>
VSS. Can I have my speedo work? Stock cluster but its mechanical VSS and a 99-00 civic si is electrical I think.

So pretty much what axles and halfshaft setup do I need? How do I get the speedo to work?

If you need any info or pics let me know and I'll get them. Thanks

If the half shaft has a male end where the axle attaches use a 94 and up integra axle. If its a female end use a 90-93 integra axle

First off, the passenger side axle you use the same one you have because its the same for both trannies. Now you can either do 1 of 2 things, get the driver side half shaft and axle from a 99-2000 Si or 95-2001 Integra or you can still use the ones you already have and all you would have to do is swap out the transmission seal for the driver side axle. As for the speed sensor all you do is put your speed sensor in and your all set. Let me know if you have any questions or if I'm wrong anyone feel free to correct me but im almost positive this is correct because i've done this many times. Good luck
