MAJOR Differences between B-series CTR/ITR and USDM transmissions..
[B]5 REASONS JDM CTR/ITR TRANSMISSIONS ROCK YOUR SOX!</font>
1) Reverse Needs to be just as strong as any other gear.. Who knows! It might come in REALLY handy when you're running from the cops! =0 So they used a long shoulder Reverse anchor bolt that's ALOT stronger than the USDM performance counterpart on the left..
2) They have Keyed pinion shafts that have ALOT nicer alloy steel and keyed shaft to prolong HIGH RPM operation during long intense workouts!
3) They have Keyed Pinion spring washers! It may sound like jibberish.. But in fact, this washer is sandwiched between the 5th gear load bearing and the nut that holds the ENTIRE shaft together.. If it spins, the nut will follow.. That could be REALLLLLY bad!! The key in the washer prevents this from happening!
4) When you're slamming gears at 9,000 RPM the last thing you wanna hear or feel is the "nails on a chalk board" sound of gears grinding.. This is put in check by using FORGED STEEL shift forks (Right) where as the flimsy USDM sheet metal ones are known to flex under load.. (left)
5) EVERYONE will agree "LSD or NOT-LSD? IS NEVER A QUESTION!" Since it's a standard option on ANY TYPE-R, they are some of the most desired..
TYPE-R is more than just a HP number and a badge.. It's about superior performance..
