tranny gear swap

I do a ton of freeway driving and drive "spirited" almost always. Can I take the gear set out of my si trans and put them into my cx trans?

I have always wanted to put a cable Si tranny in my EG coupe. the tranny will bolt up to the motor but its cable and your car has a hydro. people have done the conversion though. as far as I know you need a bracket and rig up some kinda cable setup for the clutch.

I had the tranny you have in my car when i got it and the gearing sucked so bad.

Yes you can swap gears. You may even be able to swap housings. You'll have to search outside of Civic-eg though. That info is plentiful but I don't recall ever having seen it here.
