I can tell the 95/6 models apart from the 97/8 models. And also I can tell the 97 models from the 98, but are there any distinct differences between the 95/6 models??

Hmm, Maybe I should have narrowed it down to visible exterior differences, but thats fine. Thanks for the comments.Ryan The middle child is always ignored

the 95 dx/lx/es came with a rear sway bar, 96 I am not 100% sure about, my friend had one but I never looked under it.. hmm.
I know the 97/98 dx didn't have a sway bar .

Which ever one it was that came on the 1.5l is the better tranny...the gearing is closer together.
(this tranny also came on my CDN LX 1.8L)

I didnt lie, thats what bruce told me!
All I know is that when I went to change my clutch, my buddy from amzda said "Thats a clutch for a 1.5" and it fit in my tranny anyways cause it turns out I had the same tranny as the 1.5L...
which is true, but, i guess so do ALL the other modles except for the 95 1.8L
Now, what B told me is also based on US modles, Canada could be different!
