This weekend I finally got time to put the engine/transmission back together (after scattering the trans. and putting in new synchros and an LS fifth gear. My original flywheel has nine bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel....this Exedy lightweight one only has six......and I'm a...

Bump. Look again, please. Ok. I want one of these emblems BAD. I will pay $50 for a nice one OR....I'll trade you an EF Si cluster for it. Lemme' know. No junk. I need the "correct" one. Thanks! Jim

Thanks....GM Synchromesh + K&W FM it is. That's the combination we use in the shop to cure the late-model Ford trucks with the limited-slip diff's hammering and chattering like a bitch...... Jim

I did some searching, found a little info, but nothing recent. I'd appreciate any info on what to use in this transmission....Honda MTF + friction modifier?; GM Synchromesh?; or what.... Thanks for any input... Jim

If any one wants...or needs to know this stuff.......here's the correct (as of 07/25/11) Acura part numbers for the trans seals. The numbers in the 'swap articles' section aren't right. Right/pass side output 91205-PC9-711 Left/driver side output 91205-PL3-B01 Input 91216-PH8-005 Jim

Is the Exedy flywheel worth the extra $$ ( almost twice) versus an F1? Both are steel and same weight. Got the LS 5th gear swapped into the trans (easy, easy job, btw....no press or fancy shit needed no matter what the official manuals say...)....gotta' decide yea or nay on a flywheel....and get...

That's kinda' what I was thinking....I'll measure stuff up using the '90 Integra specs I printed off. Yeah....it does have an LSD also. What I've seen so far taking it apart....is that it's never been apart. Everything I've looked at so far is OEM stuff. Mint (original Honda) clutch, no heat...

I also (using the Mitchell On-Demand that we have here at the shop....) found the same specs for a cable A1/S1 for a USDM Integra if those will work...

Good Morning....I'm getting ready to scatter the transmission so I can get this B16 off the bench and in my '91 hatch. First....the trans is gonna' get a set of LS fifth gears, and new synchros (and anything else I find that looks the least bit shaky). My question is....am I safe using set-up...

Hey....I want a nice 'DX' emblem that is supposed to be on the passenger side of the hatch on a '91 EF Civic. It HAS to be nice......no chrome peeling, etc. Name your price (within reason) email me, and I'll buy it. Thanks! Jim jim@msdra.com

Ok. Cool. Just one more question: Can anyone tell me just how pissed off my wife is gonna' be if I have three '91 Civic hatchbacks?

Gotta' opportunity to buy a pretty decent (for here in the Rust Belt...) '91 EF with a pretty much DOA motor. It's a 4 speed car, and I'm going to have the entire bone stock engine/trans out of my 'nice' DX EF when I pull the trigger on this B16 swap. Sooooo......I could have (another) beater...

As usual, thanks for your input. I'll just order the Exedy flywheel and do it all up right the first time. Flywheels....are the same for cable and hydraulic trans, correct? I know the clutches are different....
