I could be wrong (and I probably am), but I thought the DX tranny's were all 4 spd... Maybe I'm confusing it with the STD.

Yea, I think the STD has the 4 spd, cause I have a DX and its a 5 spd. One of my friends has a STD and its a 4 spd.

Look on your engine block and where it says d16a6, on the left of that, if you have a Si model it should say L plus a bunch of random letters and numbers. If it doest say L, or if it says something else, its not a Si tranny

ok according to my mechanic i have a b-16 transmission. to the left of the b-20 tag on the tranny it is marked "S1" and some random numbers i will try to get a pic in. so does that mean i dont have a b-16 tranny cause it dont have an "L":bloated:

No most likely you have a b16a (S1) transmission....sometimes the stickers are not correct but most of the time they are ok.;)
As for the others, all 88-91 civic/crx transmissions are labeled L3....the only way to tell the difference is to find these stamps on the case:
Si transmission

STD 4 spd transmission

88 trans with no markings

Hope this helps some:)

you would need the tranny. You can keep the std axles but the SI ones are larger in size and stronger. what motor are you planning on running?
thanks
