Sorry for the delay in my responses. I was out of town all weekend and without a computer.

I would swap in the stock DX vss. It is best to go with one you know is good rather than a used one with an unknown history. They my be listed as the same part number, or ratio's but it might have issues or could have been modified for a different output.

I'm also curious as to whether the shop could tune my other lean burn mule, an '89 CRX HF + '95 VX (D15Z1 running bits)Mak
I would think you could just swapp in the CX trans. I used a VX trans and used a 97 CX vss with the HX engine, ECU and cluster and it is working perfectly. The odometer/tripometer is nearly perfectly inline with my GPS.

One odd thing I did notice is the odometer/tripometer and speedometer are not in lune with eachother. My speedo reads 2-3 MPH faster than the GPS/ actual speed. I was told the springs within the cluster on the speedo gauge itself get weak and causes this issue. It never bothered me enough to fix (If you search there are right ups on this.) Honesty, if my wife things I am going 65 and I am really going 62, I am perfectly fine with that! Just don't tell her! O

As for the tuning of a D15Z1, they work on those as well. They actually were only doing those until I suggested the need in the HX community.
