Helms manual is your best friend: http://www.crxpower.net/~silverkorn/manuals/92-95CivicManual.pdf

wasn't there a site that archived a shit load of helms manuals in .pdf

anyone know what the site was???

There was the site www.icelord.net (http://www.icelord.net), but it's closed down now. Here's some at homemadeturbo.com though: http://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=10912

I found one a while back with more than just honda ones though. I was thinking it would be nice to have one for each of my family's vehicles.

Hmm, thats a good idea. If you ever find a site like that let me know.

ok so does anyone know anything i can use to extend the life of my crap bearings? like amybe an 80w 90 gear oil or sumthing? i dunno

Is your tranny making a whining noise and a slight grinding noise already? If it is, then there's nothing you can do but replace it.

ok my next thought is to just buy a used transmission....will an s20 fit in my 94 civic dx? manual tranny...if so can i just bolt it back up?

Yup it will bolt right up. The d16z6 tranny will also have shorter gears than the dx tranny. Any '92+ d-series tranny will bolt right up.
