I have a sohc zc motor in my 90 crx, and i want to know what is the best tranny for use with this motor. I've heard from different sources that i should use the zc tranny others told me to use the si tranny. I was told that the zc tranny is geared higher than the si one. but i don't know for sure, does anyone know for sure whitch tranny i should use. some one let me know asap. thanks

stick with the zc tranny. from experience(my cuzin crx had the sohc zc w/ zc tranny) the zc tranny's higher gearing is better for overall driving. it's a little bit of a slouch in dragging, but hey everyone isn't a drag racer
