Re: what is an a1 transmission
An A1 is actually one of the more desireable & valuable cable-clutch B-series transmissions out there. It comes from certain USDM '90-91 Integras with the B18A1 engine, but has the short 4.400:1 final drive like the JDM J1 and short-geared S1 transmissions for B16A engines.

Yeah the A1 tends to get ignored for some reason on most charts. I just picked up one today actually, and will verify the ratios.
I also recommend that anyone who buys a transmission, learns how to open one up, and inspect it properly. This way someone can't pull the wool over your eyes when you can open it up and see if there are any issues.

Re: what is an a1 transmission
I have a USDM Integra S1 that came with a 4.4 FD. It is not unique to the A1! But the gearing is still LS, which is tooooo looonnnggg for a B16. I would rather have B16 gearing with a 4.266 (standard LS) FD than an LS tranny with a 4.4 FD!
