im looking to buy a wagon and i want the awd now i see they make them in a 5 speed and a 6speed. now as far as the drive train and the way the diff works are they both the same between the 5spd and 6 spd ???

 

pretty sure the 5spd was the 2wd model...

 

4wd wagon parts might be harder to come by (IE tranny parts) so be prepared to have alot of downtime if your car may break.

 

well i found one that is awd but he says its a five speed i thought they were alll 6speeds ???

 

I'm just going off what the parts catalog calls them here:

1988 CIVIC WGN ** WAGOVAN (4AT/5MT)
1988 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (5MT)
1988 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)
1989 CIVIC WGN ** WAGOVAN (4AT/5MT)
1989 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (4AT/5MT)
1989 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)
1990 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (4AT/5MT)
1990 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)
1991 CIVIC WGN 4WD 1600 (4AT/5MT)
1991 CIVIC WGN DX (4AT/5MT)

Am I missing something?

 

the 6 speed really aint shat. its just a super low gear for snow and schtuff. its mainly a conversation piece these days. but yea i think they made the 4wd 5 speed as well. maybeee not. oh well it dont matta. go b series! haha i wonder if you can swap crv parts over.

 

^Yeah, it is pretty much the Low gear on diesels. gets you going and then you can get into first.

 

They were all 6 speed. Though the 6th gear which is basically half of first, isn't in a sequential position.

 

so they were all 5 1/2 speed? lol

 

Yes.

 

would be fun if you could swap in ZC 1~4, Si 5th, and then hf 5th.
Or maybe even ZC 1~5 and then hf 5th for freeway.

Totally doubt it would be possible, but a D series 6 speed... nice.

 

i love my AWD shift **** =]

 

no the later 89-91 wagons were a rt awd (real time ) so all wheels start to push when the front slips like on a subaru. the early ones were just a low 4 wheel drive.

 

i love to get people wit it when its raining here in flordia.

 

lol granny gear

 

mine does not have a granny gear just 5 forward gears that can be all wheel drive at anytime.

 

You missed a year.

 

ahaha 88-91 brah

 

can somebody post a video of sl tranny going threw the gears
