ok i was wondering what would be the best geared tranny for road racing. let me know what u guys think. oh if it helps its going on an a6.
-Kyle

 

i read something about the shortest tranny using zc gears and crx si fd....or it could be the other way around, but it's something along those lines...

 

anyone know which way it is?

 

BUMP!

 

I have a 1998 JDM ITR Tranns with LSD. I love it... Better then the cable one with LSD and better then any other cable i had

 

i'm quiet satisfied with the a6 tranny. i've not done actual road races per say but at hpde's i run a z6 with an si trans. and don't get totally spanked. i fair pretty well with the spec miata's.

How does that help this guy..he has a d-series...

This probably sounds stupid to alot of you,but I would use the 4spd from the STD..

You lose momentum from shifting no matter how fast you can shift..and with the 4psd you can stay in the same gear longer then you could then with an si/zc tranny

Imagine that you're on the straight away to the end and you're neck and neck with some other guy who has a crx with an a6 but he has a si tranny..You'll be in 4th gear and still pulling..but this guy will be in 4th gear and will have to shift soon..Then when he does he loses momentum and you end up in front...
Obviously the 4spd wont accelerate as fast in the lower gears but if only you could shorten the 2nd gear that tranny wouldnt be as bad as everyone makes it out to be
Also you can find a 4psd tranny for like $20-50 because everyone thinks they're garbage....

Im sure no one will agree with me ..But thats my opinion..

 

Talk to the guys at http://www.effinmotorworks.com

 

go with the Si tranny....you'll get like 21-25 mpg and get some good gearing for your d series....
yeah and to the S80 helical LSD....what kinda rpm you hovering around at 80? just curious.....

Actually that makes total sense, it's one more gear you don't have to shift...I didn't realize you meant with different gears than stock, because in that case the si tranny would eat a 4spd.

I never thought of that but for drag/autoX that's actually not a bad idea.
