I didn't realize the transmission was different in those cars. Driving slowly I often catch 3rd gear when shifting to 5th and 4th when shifting to second. So I think my syncros are pretty worn so I was going to have the whole thing gone over and redo the shifter bushings so it may be worth getting a transmission from one of those other cars and having that redone instead. Hmmmm....

Have any of you found if there is a mix and match of gears that could be combined in a rebuild for this generation of civic that overall would maximize FE?
