I'm new to the Honda world and I have a 1989 Honda Civic DX hatchback I'm just trying to make it a clean simple Street cruiser I just need help on what's best to do to my vehicle to get it to where I wanted to be.
first thing I'm trying to do is a transmission swap from a four-speed to a 5 speed what are the best transmissions I could use for my car that can Bolt straight up?
second thing I'm trying to do is give it a clean Low Stance what is needed to give it a low aggressive look?
those are things I'm trying to do now if anybody can help me please respond back.

 

d series lsd tranny would be the best any d series transmisson would work. Do research on suspension find witch one you like, and read reviews. What is your budget?

 

More specifically an 88-91 D-Series transmission is what you want because it uses a cable actuated clutch like your car is set up for. Generally speaking the higher the trim level the transmission is originally from the better. There is a difference on spline count on 88 models so be weary (I'll leave you with that to search for on your own).

 

See the forum Rules sticky. Thread titles must summarize the tech question/problem. Title edited.

 

I'd get an 89-91 Si Trans, wouldn't worry about LSD really since I don't think that's where you should spend your money.

Suspension is always going to be Koni/GC as far as HondaTech is concerned.

I'm still a Progressive suspension fanboy. The drop springs would do you good. You could probably upgrade the stock struts while you are at it. If you just want a decent ride and a lowered look, springs and struts will be enough.
