I need a climate control unit for my 88 CRX. I see two different styles: One has a lever to select where the air blows. The other has push buttons. Are these interchangeable?

 

The levers are for the civic hatch/sedan. You'll need to swap all the stuff under the dash to use it as the crx has electric controls. There are also some write-ups for using accord or EK climate controls, which might be a little easier.

 

Looks like its just easier to get the proper part. Thanks.

 

Good luck. If you find a set of heater controls that aren't cracked you'd be extremely lucky. Try swapping to other controls like suggested above, at least then you'll have replacement options in the future.

 

You can still buy new crx controls for $300

 

i swapped the civic controls into my crx. You have to swap the heater core out too. its easy. The worst part about it is taking the dash out and then wiring the lights in the civic control to work with the crx harness
