I have an 89 Si though I believe the trans was replaced with a DX model trans. I have an 88 HF trans I want to install and have read on a number of websites that the ticket is to use a 21 spline clutch disc that is 8 1/4" or 8 3/8" out of an Accord from '86 to '88, along with the stock CRX Si pressure plate and flywheel.
Well, just to be on the safe side, I went researching at multiple auto parts stores and did some parts ordering and have ended up with what I believe to be everything I need, a stock Si pressure plate, and I purchased 2 clutch discs, both for an 88 Accord LXi because one parts store listed 8 1/4" and the other 8 3/8" and they were inexpnesive. I haven't disassembled anything yet, because when I try to fit the disc 8 1/4" or 8 3/8" to the pressure plate, neither will seat on the pressure plate, with the 8 3/8" obviously being the worse of the two. I'm confused.
Multiple websites have verified and recommended the same combo over and over. 21 spline disc with stock flywheel and pressure plate. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas they are welcomed.
BTW, the smaller and OEM type disc uses brass friction material , the larger, made by Zoom, uses a fiber organic type wear material.
Thanks.
