i'm buying a new clutch for my 89 crx dx and i was planning to buy an SI tranny also, but would it be any helpful in performance? (i've heard that si tranny has higher final gear?) any replies will be appreciated thanks

 

Well, the term si says it all: "sport injection". This tranny is a much sportier version, so it will feel a bit better, and I believe you are correct with the final gear being higher.

 

Well i have the Si model (91) and i test drove a Dx for my GF a few months back..getting in there and driving it was..well boring. Then as soon as i got back in my CRX (its stock also) i noticed snappier acceleration and it seemed to have noticable power...so i'd have to say yes...get the tranny!

 

how much would it be? i couldn't find one for sale on HT..

 

I tragically messed up my engine a few weeks ago and was gonna sell the whole thing (the d16a6 i think) but if you want to email/IM me and make an offer

 

you can get em for about $150

 

Yeah i've got a Y8 in my crx with stock 88 dx tranny, can't wait to get on the 90 Si tranny that's sitting in my garage and see what the difference is. Hopefully a lot! Haha, anyone here have times on same engine with both trannies???

there isnt as big of a difference as i thought there would be.. the biggest difference i noticed was on the highway.. about 4000 rpm @ 78-80mph. ive heard it gives u a .5 sec et improvement, but i doubt its that much. i got mine for $175 shipped, w/ 90k miles, & no grinds
