Does the clutch pedal still provide resistance once you push it to the floor, below that 1-2 inch threshold you mentioned?

 

Its the same all the way down

 

wow there is ALOT of incorrect information being given out here....first off, NO the DX and SI transmissions are NOT the same. not even close. The DX tranny is more for MPG and the SI tranny is for better acceleration. The 88 transmissions have a 20 spline count, therefore, you must buy a clutch for an 88. the 89-91's have a 21 spline count, so, a clutch for a 89-91 must be used. resurfacing your flywheel wouldn't be the problem getting it into gear. maybe the clutch disc was installed backwards? i would double check the clutch cable to make sure its connected correctly....

 

On the clutch disk it says this side flywheel and it was put on correctly, The cable IS on right and has been adjusted many times. My car is an 89 DX, the tranny I "WANTED" to use is a 91 Si. I was told to get a clutch kit for the 91 and I would be straight, this is NOT TRUE. The clutch dick and pressure plate are larger for the Si (1.6L engine) Now I was going to get a lightweight flywheel now. It says it fits the 1.5/1.6. Then why are the stock flywheels have different part numbers?

This is what it breaks down too. Can I bolt up my 91 Si tranny to my DX engine? If so I think I would have to use a clutch kit and fly wheel for my 89 DX engine.

 

i tell you guys what.... PM Kai or Firefastsi... they can answer all of your questions. but i am pretty sure it will bolt up just fine.

 

ah ok i understand now. yea you need to use the clutch kit for your 89 because you are putting it on a DX which has a smaller diameter flywheel. an 89 DX clutch kit WILL fit since the spline count for the 89-91's are all the same. or you can buy an 89-91 SI flywheel and bolt that up to your DX motor and use a 89-91 SI clutch.

 

So with the 91 Si clutch kit anf flywheel along with the 91 Si tranny will fit my DX engine?

 

yes...

 

The only incorrect information here is coming from YOU. The Si and Dx 5 speeds are exactly the same, except for the final drive ratio. (ring and pinion). The DX gets a 3.888 (economy) and the Si gets a 4.250. (performance) If you don't believe me go
here and read about it. This is the same site that I pulled the info on spline counts off of and posted previously. Also, if you scroll up, I already told him to just use an '89 clutch and bolt up the Si tranny. Thanks for trying to help though. I don't know what is up with this hold the clutch partway down and it shifts deal, sounds like something is binding up. Got any ideas on that?
