Hi
New member here!
I have a bone stock 1991 Civic Si hatchback with 225k and a sloppy differential (passenger side oil seal blown and wobbly inner CV...able to wiggle the side gear around with a finger after pulling the axle)
I'd like to keep the Si ratio's, but am too cheap to have the diff rebuilt. There is a local Craigslist trans available as follows:
88 trans out of a CRX-Si, '88 clutch(disc and pressure plate with 10K) and '89 flywheel (resurfaced 10k ago) for $150.
Seller says he bought the trans from a 88 crx and used it in his '89 crx. He is certain that it's an Si trans per the "10 revolutions in first gear=correct output shaft location" test.
The question is will this setup work in my '91? I understand that the '88 trans has a different input shaft and would require the '88 clutch disc; is the '89
flywheel needed to adapt the '88 clutch assembly to my '91 motor? I wouldn't mind replacing the clutch as mine chatters anyway!
Thanks in advance,
Marc
