Yea, what he said^. Seriously like 90% of the questions youve asked us would best be answered in one of those service manuals

Or you can look on Ebay for an original '89 Honda Civic manual.

Does your shift knob show you have 5 gears (+reverse)?

You can test it when the car is not running. Just push (parking brake on if the car is not sitting level) in the clutch and go through all the gears.

From Neutral:
1st: Left and up
2nd: Left and down
3rd: Up
4th: Down
5th: Right and up
Reverse: Right and down

If it won't go into reverse right away go back to neutral, release the clutch, press the clutch again and try again.

What model Civic do you have:

STD: 1.5 DPFI, 4-speed (no rear wiper, no tachometer, very basic)
DX: 1.5 DPFI, 5-speed
SI: 1.6 MPFI, 5-speed
__________________
91 Civic STD HB. Over 280,000 miles on car, estimate about 100,000 miles on engine (D15B1). Original 4-Speed Tranny swapped for DX 5-Speed. Power doors, remote entry, remote hatch popper, power windows. MPFI swap completed!
