okay, i have the chance to buy an 89 crx SI tranny with brand new clutch, pressure plate, and lightened flywheel for 175 dollars.. the only thing is,, i've been told that the splines on the input shafts are different... is there anyway to work around this, or is it really even a prob.. thanx

 

it will drop right in. The splines are only different in the hubs not the trannys

 

thanx SIRX,, anyone else got any imput,, i'd just like to double check before i go ripping my tranny out of my car.... thanx again

 

Easy swap, it'll fit, s'all good.

 

sounds good.. one last question tho... i read that the 88 crx had 21 splines instead of 20,, this sounds like it would be axle splines, cause as far as the trannies i've seen, none have that many splines on them (ive grown up working on custom and drag mustangs in my dad's shop) if it is axle,, wouldnt i have to get a crx axle for my car.. or did they only go to 20 splines on the 89-91 crx's????.......... oh and i dont think i mentioned that the crx was an hf,, aren't there hubs different?.. thanx for the last time guys

 

Yep. Any D series cable tranny from 89-95 will bolt up. The 88 has a different number of splines. And different models and years have different clutch and flywheel sizes.

 

Throw it in already....along with a new rear main seal for safe measures.

 

the 20/21 splines that you are refering to are on the input shaft for the clutch

 

okay,, im gonna put it in there this weekend.... should i notice any considerable difference in the crx SI tranny and my DX tranny? gearing?... and EF *****... nice to see you're so anxious...lol. thanx for the understanding and good humor guys
