it should b/c the 2wd civic uses a normal d series tranny and the engine in the 4wd wagon is a d16a6

however, the 6 spd 4x4 civic wagon tranny is not made for performance as 1st gear is really, really low like how a 4x4 truck has its first gear

basically you cannot get a 6 speed tranny for these cars...and it's not needed performance wise
