Which do you prefer? B18c tranny w/lsd to the B16a tranny w/lsd
Im wanting to purchase one of the two, but having a hard time making the decision, give me some stats on the trannys and help make the decision a lil easier...thanx
<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> I have ran all 3 types. ( B16 LSD, GS-R & JDM ITR ) and my favorite was the GSR. The 2.0 didn't really like the higher revs while cruising. For Racing the B16/ITR were great. </FONT>

Doesn't the b16a tranny have the same short gear ratios as the ITR? I thought they did. If that's true then I'd choose the b16 with lsd. I had an R tranny on my GSR and it was so much better!

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> USDM ITR/B16 share the same close ratios, but I was reffering to the JDM ITR w/ the 4.875 Final Drive. </FONT>

I'll agree with CA6VTEC about the high revs while crusing.One thing that you should be asking yourself is what do you have planned for your car,drag,autox etc etc.But I say go B18C,more daily driver friendly.That my $0.02 for the day.
it all depends on what you plan to do with your car and how much power you plan on making. for my turbo'd ls, i choose a LSD gsr tranny for one reason...too much torque. even with the longer gears of the gsr tranny i still spin my tires. if i were running low boost i would probably run the itr tranny. errr...well no i wouldn't cause i hate crusing on the highway at 3.5k rpms.
