OK, here's the dilemma. I have a JDM VTi LSD Tranny, and the ring gear is completely shot. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement ring gear? I was hoping to use my stock USDM Si (D16) final drive, along with the JDM LSD diff, but according to a few sources I've spoken with, the JDM VTi LSD tranny had a one-off ring gear bolt pattern, which sucks for me, but I know someone out there has GOT to have some info on this. Thanks all.

 

The JDM LSD ring gear has 14 bolts, and the Non-LSD has 10 bolts. You need to find a ring gear from the JDM LSD tranny.

 

Ok, well I do know that the VTi has a different ring gear bolt pattern, and my ring gear is shot. My question is where can I find a replacement ring gear?

 

have you tried yahoo japan?

 

This is making my decision not to go with the VTi tranny seem much more right. But good luck with finding the gear.... maybe visit a tranny shop, maybe something might interchange

 

Well, I tried Yahoo Japan, and the only problem I have with that is I don't read Japanese. It's all in Japanese. Any other suggestions anyone??? I REALLY need the help, and I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks all.

 

u can use bable fish to translate entire sites

 

Sage Racing makes 4.7 fd ring gears for D-series, maybe they got one in the right bolt patter for your tranny...

 

Does Sage Racing have a website? or does anyone else have any different information? Thanks all.
