transmission swap

i am upgrading from the dx transmission to a si transmission and exedy racing clutch, a jdm lightwieght racing flywheel, then to the engine upgrades, as i said in my previous post, i blew up the dx transmission doing a burnout, but a good chance to make the car better, i took a transmission out of a crx si 5-spd car, i got a exedy racing clutch for a 91 civic, and the flywheel for a 91 civic, i hope this will make a major difference, maybe i need to invest in a short throw shifter now??



-1988 honda civic dx 4 door sedan
-1.5 liter
-5spd

Get a good one. Those Ebay shifters always cause 3rd to go out (even faster).

as far as shortshifters are concerned, fidanza arent much more than ebay ones, look around (i cant remember where i got mine) i got a dual bend for under 40$ shipped. the short shifter was nice but adding in poly bushings for the linkage and poly engine inserts make the shift action much sharper than i would have dreamed of for a total of <100$
mini-me = cheap fun - cheaper than going to dohc zc with similar hp gain
boosted mini-me even better
plus the added benefit of plentiful cheap replacement parts from 15 years of compatible sohc dseries at any junk yard
