"Q: Can someone clarify in detail what I need to do for an '88 CRX??
Can I retain my '88 tranny? Will the difference in splines be a problem?
Can I use an upgraded '92-'95 clutch, plate, and flywheel on my '88?

A #1: (by [Ed])
The 88 splines are different, you'll need an 89-91 tranny if you want to use the 89-on flywheel/clutch. Or swap the 88 flywheel to the new motor."
