Default MT/5spd Wagons questions (94-97)

I'm looking to "upgrade" my 92 coupe to a 94-95 Wagon, but have a couple of questions: I am not a fan of the their automatic transmissions. I'd like to avoid a conversion so does anyone know if manual transmissions were common/widely available in those wagons?

What are the main differences between the EX and LX, besides the engine? Do both have all-disc brakes? Do all the EX's have sunroofs(reason I ask is I'm not really interested in this "feature")?

SN: I tried to register on AccordWagonClub but I never get a confirmation email or anything.

honestly, the wagons are rare so I bet a 5spd will be even more rare. I've seen 3 for sale, all autos with transmission problems.

EX was the only one to offer 4 wheel disc
EX's had better wheels/Painted side molding/etc...
F22B1 instead of B2

I've never seen an EX without a sunroof

There are standard trans wagons out there, you just got to do a bit more looking.

Just basic cosmetic features and lil things that an EX came standard with that are options for the LX (abs, disc brakes, 15" alloys, leather)

EX came standard with disc brakes, IIRC it was an option on the LX

Moonroofs is a standard option on the EX, and on the SE for the 96-97 accords

I guess I'll make finding a MT one a first priority, and the disc brake thing can be "solved" later on since I'm assuming they're also hub-over-rotor, in which I'd like to switch to rotor-over-hub in the future.

I'll also just deal with the sunroof; they're not known for leaking or anything, are they?

Thanks guys!

I have a M/T LX wagon with ABS and rear disks for the record. So they are out there.
