i have a 98 ex and wondered whwen i put in the SC from jackson, will i have to change my transmission its a stock auto...

 

i really dont think you need to....correct me if im wrong anybody. but as far as i know, you really shouldnt have to

 

depending how much boost you run and how hard you make your car shift is what is going to lead to your tranny ruining itself. You should be fine if you don't drive like an ***-hat.

 

i mean i step on it once in a while if some ricer drives by thinking hes the **** but other than that....i dont drive that hard, will it hold up i will get it tuned and stuff

 

It should be fine, aslong as you stay away from neutral bombs and stupid crap like that. The tune is more of a benefit to your engine than to your tranny.

 

im getting all different responses, some people say that the trans has to be upgraded becasue it cant handle the power? but i dont know...

 

It'll hold just fine.

If you have any problemsCall

ask for Mark Tell him Jun refered you for info. He's installed thousands of JRSC in his life. He'll give you the correct answer.

 

god i am so confused, everyone is saying something differnt

 

How much power is your SC gonna put out?
Another 50hp? 100hp maybe? Your stock tranny should be fine.

hopefully around 75 more but i dont think there is a way to tell...all i will have is the SC the intake and an exhaust

 

jackson racing superchargers roughly add about 40% of power .. which is prolly 140-150 whp .. your tranny should be good but if your looking for up around 200whp id swap to manual ... maybe adding a tranny cooler wouldnt be a bad idea..

You'll net between 30-50 horses at the wheels with an SC, Intake and Exhaust.

Your stock transmission will be fine... unless (as stated previously) you enjoy doing neutral drops.

There's a guy on Hondaswap with an EK EX who's had a JRSC for at least 5 months now... not a problem as far as I know.

Will a torque converter help move more of the power to the wheels?

I hate automatics, therefore I've never bothered to learn anything about them... for your answer. I have no idea.

But I will give you a free bump so someone can answer this.

 

i know often looked down upon, but with the right tools, can be good..

bump to answer question

You mean as in a racing-type torque converter? Probably not move more power, but help you with your launches like a high-stall converter on domestic cars (Mustangs, Camaros, etc...). It will help you destroy your stock transmission.

 

so what should i do to my stock tranmission to make it able to hold the power?
