That's actually the measurement I cited, not my XFi's track width. The '95+ track width number was all I could find in my quick search, so the 2nd gen CRX's track (1400mm) is 1.6cm wider than 3rd gen suzukiclones (1384mm). I just figured the track didn't change over those generations

Based on how wiggly axles feel to be, I don't think that 1.6cm/2 is going to be much of a stretch for axles to handle. Does anyone know for sure one way or another that stretching one axle 8mm farther than its used to could cause significant safety or longevity concerns?

90crxHF: If you want that transmission and it's actually still there, I'd be happy to get it for you if you pay for it and its shipping. PM me if you're serious, but I'd be looking locally if I were you. Shipping could get pricey.
