LOL yeah I know alot of you are probably 
at my topic header, but in all seriousness I am fairly UNinformed about foreign cars and motors. I have now owned an 87 HF CRX and now a 91 HF and I'd really like to just shoot the shit about them. I've floated around different sites mentioned on this board, so those are kind of out of the question.
Im an audio guy, I know about audio stuff, and engines are somewhat tricky for me to understand
either way, my car is in the shop and i guess I just had some questions about it.

You can just post some questions here.But try searching ,not just here but the entire web. There is tons of info out there and on other honda sites,just search.I am sure the questions you have can be found by searching.The 88-91 crx is a pretty popular model.

yeah no doubt.
I drove it over to the mechanics (i have no hands on skill for motors at all).
There was a whining/grinding sound coming from the tranny/clutch area and I thought the throwout bearing was going or something, come to find out the tranny is just about dead. first and second were horrific. My mechanic who is also a friend said he would replace the tranny and clutch. I'll pay for the tranny and brand new clutch, and he will only be charging me for labor on the tranny probably b/c the clutch wont be any more work going back on if it is new or used.
The car idles like crap as well. as soon as I drive it about 4 miles the thing LITERALLY idles around like 100rpm, i almost have to keep one foot on the accel to makes sure i can keep it up and idling around 800-1000. My amature analysis of this is plugs/wires/dist cap possibly...
I'll start with that
Thx for the support as well folks.

I had the same idle problem, first u need to tighten ur accel cable, and then there should be a screw on ur Throttle body, like a gold screw, if ur tighten the screw it will lower ur idle, if you loosen it, it will make your idle go up. Once you find where you would like ur idle, leave the screw and shut the hood. It fixed mine.

i will look into the accel cable issue. also it doesnt idle super low all the time, only when the car warms up. It was time for new plugs/cap/wires anyways.

well I need a water pump as well, that is where the anti freeze has gone lol.
my father explained to me that the grinding in 1st and 2nd gear were from the bearing those two gears are on being gone. And that 3rd and 4th are on another bearing, and 5th and R are on the last one... maybe I'm learning stuff after all

I have a water pump if you would like to buy it. It is used, but it still works great. It has about 5,000 miles on it. I replaced t with a performance one. Just e-mail me at e3defboysdown@bellsouth.net
