Yes it would work. I don't know the 1-5th gear ratios between the VX and your DX, but you might want to plug some numbers and see how the different ratios will work with the VX FD. For example if the DX 5th gear ratio is shorter than the VX, would the end result of your hybrid transmission be about the same as a VX?

Mista Bone, as far as the HX goes, the VX is worlds better for fuel economy. I swapped my HX trans out for a VX, and the improvement is incredible. They really went more conservative as the cars got newer. Compare the CRX HF transmission to the VX, and then the VX to the HX, an then the 96-00 HX vs the 2001-2005 HX.
