sohc tranny questions
so I've come across a good deal on a sohc tranny. the tranny is a 96 ex tranny the guy re-built the tranny and put in a OBX lsd, the guy is asking $750 for it. i currently have a 94 si and my second and third grind on high rpms so im in the market of looking for a ex/si tranny. the guy whos selling the tranny is saying the tranny has zero miles and all the receipts for the work done to the tranny. Now my question is how good is this obx lsd ? I've read mixed reviews on it. the guy said everything is brand new never used. should i buy the tranny ??
plans for my SI- d16z6 turbo

<--- Using OBX LSD with new bolt and washer. Autox for 3-4 years with no problem.
OBX LSD average about 350-380 dollars. 370-400 difference for transmission and labor.

Re: sohc tranny questions
OBX LSDs are junk, some guys get lucky with them, but there is basically no R&D. They usually have severe runout issues. Mfactory LSDs aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. $750 just seems to steep to me. Find a good EX/Si tranny that doesn't grind for $100 - $150 and buy a real LSD.

Re: sohc tranny questions
another added benefit i was reading about is the forks on the 96-00 trannys they are steel VS the 92-95 are aluminum how big of a benefit is that though ????

I'm not the only who's said this either, I distinctly remember seeing Bense say pretty much the same thing a few years back.
