the hf model is the only crx with fewer splines . i believe it shares the same spline count as the std civics

Most likely Honda just realized that the larger driveshafts were overkill and just adding weight (and cost). I would recomend if you're changing from a larger drive shaft to a smaller one (or vice versa) to do both shafts and not just one.

that's at the hub end of the drive shaft... the tranny end is the same.

Soooo....

Yes, they will fit any 88-91 transmission, but no they may not fit at the other end (the wheel hub)
