i already have some axles i'll be using for my D16A6 swap into my 88 crx hf but mine are from a 91 crx si tranny and i was told that the 88 tranny has a different spline count on the tranny side. is this true? so i would have to buy specifically 88 crx si axles? i thought they were all the same but the only difference was that the 88-89 si trannys have a smaller spline count concerning the clutch or something? i don't remember but i know you have to get a different clutch for an 88-89 then the 90-91's. well thanks for anyone who can clarify this for me.

 

88 vs 89-1, différent # or spline.
88-9 vs 90-1, 90-1 add a bigger(diameter) clutch.

so i can't use my 91 axles with my 88 tranny right? man...ain't that a b*tch

 

you can use your axles only difference is on the mainshaft.. it has 21 splines vs. 20.. BTW thats the clutch.. axles are the same.. its the clutch thats different

 

the Si axles will not fit your HF - it is not the transmission end that doesn't fit, it is at the hub end - the HF hubs are smaller - your HF axles will work with any 88-91 Civic/CRX L3 transmission (except for ZC) - you could swap your knuckles/hubs for ones from 88-91 DX or Si and use the Si axles
