Xist, I believe only the 1996 model year came with the shift light. Possibly 1997, but my 1998 does not have it.
Why are you concerned with the miles? If you don't have any mechanical issues, there is no reason to replace your old HX. If the body is in good shape and you like it, consider buying a new engine or rebuilding yours if you are having engine issues.
As for the new HX, it's super easy to find a good transmission. Honda guys love to swap them out in favor of the shorter ratio EX transmissions. Find a used 92-95 CX/VX transmission, or a 96-00 HX/DX(hatch)/CX(hatch) transmission. When I needed to replace my transmission I was able to find a VX for about $120.
I had a HX transmission I would have sold you cheap, it needs an input shaft bearing. But unfortunately my newer VX transmission is starting to develop the same problem. Looks like I will be repairing the HX now.
