Band Wagon
i have two stock rides a gray 90 fwd
and a bronze 91 rt
i have some wag parts just drop me a line ,,
debating if i want the crappy 2wd or do i want to convert the rt to 2wd.
i like the shifting of the fwd better its tighter. the rt is tall and sloppy. i will trade anyone my rt for a nice 2wd.. it can be swapped but has to be clean.

let me just share my thoughts on 2wd and 4wd. first i got an 88rt4wd and love so much. i liked this awd coz during winter its so just the right car for me to think that im from socal and we only get snow up in the mountain. i loved snowboarding and do donnuts on the snow covered parking lots hahahahaha. the thing about awd is that the shift mechanism is cable thats why like you said is sloppy and the gear are short. at 80 mph the rpm is at 4k, so its not ideal on the freeways.
i would also like to get a 2wd in the future. im just so jealous of some our waggy bretheren who have like a fleet of so cool wagons here. 2wd waggys can be upgraded to b-serries with ease compare to 4wd. a b-serries with LS tranny or LS 5th gear is better on the freeways coz of taller gears. the shift mechanism is better coz its rod and you have this direct feel when shifting. the bumpers on this babies are not body color compare to their awd counterparts.
other than i can think of is, i would not compare our usdm wagons to edm or jdm or adm coz they have better options.
just my 0.02 cents.

If it was my performance/race car, I'd totally want a FWD, though. All the engine swaps that'll work in other Civics/CRXs will work in a FWD wagon. Then again, if it was a performance/race car, I'd probably go with a Civic hatch or CRX rather than the taller, heavier wagon.
yeh thats the thing.
im all about the 4WD though with the shuttle. gotta have the best!!
My RTi had probably the smoothest shift i've ever experienced. Clicked into gear no worries, both quickly and slowly.
Might want to check that everything is adjusted correctly and the shifter is in good shape.
I prefer the 4wd, I have other cars that have the b series and all that jazz. To me the wagon is all about utility, the 4wd helps it be more utilitarian. Of course I live in snowy colorado and go camping often so it helps.
Great when you needed it also great to have the 2wd function for mpgs.
I loved it
