Here are a couple of sources. They have some errors, and disagree with each other in some places. That's why I posted 2, but I still take the real-world results from my DX and Bruce's HX with more authority.

Reference: Transmission Specs - ClubCivic.com - Honda Civic Forum
6G Civic Trim Differences - Honda-Tech
I took her out yesterday and did 60 momentarily, Scangauge was putting out 231x when I looked down. I'll try again tonight with a more steady MPH rating to confirm. My Civic has a 97 DX tranny according to the VIN on the housing.
