I might be getting a used 2000 Si tranny with a Type R LSD in it. Was wondering if these trannies look exactly like the type R tranny's except without the LSD stamp? To know if there is actually the ITR lsd in it, i just look through the axle holes and if i can see right through, then its got the LSD in it? Anything else i should look for? Is the Y21 stamping visible anywhere on the tranny? I have the chance to check out the tranny before purchasing it.

edit: I doubt its possible, but is there a way i can tell if the tranny has any grinds or not?

The stamp on the 2000Si/SiR tranny should be S4..not Y21...
and for an ITR LSD to fit inside, the previous owner would have to have used a ring gear from a GS-R or ITR.....stock Si and stock USDM ITR is 4.4

but the sizes are different enough that Honda made two sizes of LSDs....one for the "lesser" EK4/EG6 and one for the Type-Rs.

Can't tell if the tranny is grinding till you put it in...

Buyer beware....

 

excuse the brain fart - but whats a ring gear?

[e] - Speed sensor gear thing? Ugh 36 hours without sleep.. im goin to bed.

ring gear = final drive....

sorry.... been playing with AE86s lately and the guys I hang around with like to call it a ring gear more than a final drive.....

 

Bastaaaaaaaaad.. I was like,... ok... time.. for.. bed. GRR.

 

ITR tranny apparently has a different 2nd gear syncro. Ask SGT about it for details, but i think he siad it has 3 rows or something.

 

don't the Si and ITR transmission have the same gearing?

 

They have the same Gear Ratios.

 

not when i looked at the specs. they are very similiar though.

 

What are you talking about. Everywhere I have looked shows them having the same specs.

 

thats what i saw too. thats why they call it the "poor man's" type R. lol
