HF transmission

Will I have to get different axles to swap an HF tranny into my 2wd wagon? I am thinking of using the HF tranny to get better mileage.
If I remember correctly you need to change the hubs on the CRX HF to Si or DX hubs when you swap in an Si motor and tranny. I am trying to go the other way and swap in the HF tranny. :?

HF inner CV axle spline caps and swap them onto your shafts and Bingo.. You have Mutt CV shafts that will work for you.. HF inner shaft and DX outer shaft..
I had an HF trans in my wagon early on, and used the original DX axles with no issues. Granted, the car, engine, and transmission were all '90-'91. I don't know if that makes any difference in this area, but you never know- especially with '88s.
their OUTER spline is smaller
their shafts are hollow and light.
the inner spline is the exact same.
just use Si/DX axles to match your DX knuckles
just to confirm whats been said already.
It was like driving a 3speed car, you'd have to be doing 55-60 to even try 4th gear. If you're in a flat part of Texas YMMV. Around here it's just too hilly.
