Can someone please explain why the GSR tranny is better?? Does is give more power? Acceleration? Or just better gearing? I'm a newbie just getting into mods so please gentle!!

 

it has shorter gears to keep the motor in the meaty part of the power band. heh, i said meaty.

 

Does anyone know approx cost of changing trans?? In US $ or Cdn$?

 

the prices range from $650-$800 for a used gsr tranny in good condition+labor US currency.

 

around 700 for the tranny, and let's say around 300 for the labor. that's a conservative estimate.

 

$300 USD for labour? And that's being conservative? It only costs $300CAD here in Toronto on average for the labour to swap trannies. ($200USD) I didn't know it costs that much more for labour in the U.S or is that only in some parts? You're not quoting Honda labour pricing are you?

 

I'll swap a tranny for $300!

 

I did it and loved it the lighter flywheel compliments the TQ of out motor perfectly but I'ed go for a ITR flywheel and a clutch masters stage 1 while your shops under the hood LSD would be nice too do as much now as you can cuz your saving on labor in the long hall and you will be much happyer.With my tranny i did l37 with a passenger and while i was going up hill on the Fway.Best mod on my se the gsr tranny.
