Default best tranny for a B16A?

The tranny on my B16A just crapped out on me, and I was just wondering if I should just get a B16A w/ LSD tranny or if another one is better, so any input would be great, thanks.

Yes and no. The ITR has the same gearing, but with a taller final drive (numerically, so the gears are shorter). For a street car, a shorter tranny than a B16 tranny is going to leave you revved very high at 60-80 mph. I would probobally just get another B16 tranny also.

depends where you look. there's alot of info out there, but its hard to tell what's exactly right

b16a tranny has a tad bit shorter 1st, 4th and 5th, but the 98+ itr has the super low 4.785fd

I had a very nice b16a back in the day. Made 175whp I had a usdm type R Tranny with a 4.78 final. It was great but I'm sure a 4.9 would be even better.
