I didn't post a thread. The info is distributed across several threads, the most important is the trouble-shooting thread titled something like hub or brake rotor problem. Others on the swap were about calibrating the odometer after the swap, hypermiling technique with the CX/VX gearing, and a DIY for removing a "spring pin" from the shifter assembly for a Civic/Acura. Not really conducive to feature listing. But thanks for the thought. Couldn't/wouldn't do such a swap without this site (and honda-tech.com, which I learned about here at EM). I have learned some important things about the specs of D-series Honda transmissions that would be useful to gather into one place for all.... right now it's on my car's page only.

Nice!

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.
