#174205 Yes but that is a bad transmission to use if you want your car to go fast, the worst one you can pick. It has the longest gear ratios though so it will offer the best MPG for highway driving.

#174360 If you're thinking of putting a D17 in your EG think again. It's the same as a K series swap.

vx and cx are pretty much the same if you ask me the vx however has a bit of added power when needed due to vtec....

#175083 CX engine is an 8 valve 60hp failure. VX engine is a 16 valve fuel economy success. It was cheap, it gave decent power, and it got great mileage. What would you rather have, a Civic VX or a Geo Metro?
