What trans do i get????
So i just finished my swap and its all good, except my 3 grinds if i dont shift slowly and perfectly. Since my clutch is almost out of spec i was thinking of getting a new trans since i got to do an R&R on the clutch. I do alot of highway driving but i also want some pep to my first few gears what should i look 4?

if its a b, si trans has close ratios but sucks for highway driving. mine revs at 4400rpms at 80mph. i have heard of people swaping out 5th gear for a taller one tho

I got my b16a trans for 750 from a shop but if I didn't want a receipt it would have only been 700. I'm sure you can find one cheaper from a regular person 400-500 but you never know how people are, they can scam you and give you a messed up trans.

yea the S21 (wich is the type r trans) at 5k is at about 95mph (and is ONE of the lowest geared trans honda makes) so unless you have like 8in wheels with low pros your not gonna be doin 65 at 5k

Re: What trans do i get????
at 80 mph...
GSR = 3900rpm
B16 = 4400rpm
B18C5 = 4400rpm
JDM ITR (4.7FD) = 5000rpm
Those numbers are from personal experience, but the JDM ITR figure is hearsay.
