This has been a point of confusion for me: I have seen claims online that the pre-1992 D-series engines did not have hydraulic transmissions, and I have seen it claimed that they did. Which is it?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
