I just ordered a type r transmission from Acura, was wondering if i needed to do anything different to put it in my GSR? i'm assuming everything just bolts up the same, ect. Thanks

 

Oh god no.....you might as well be trying to put in a RWD LS1.








































Ok, just joking, its a direct fit.

 

you had me there for a second...

 

thanks alot for the help

are you serious??

You prolly had to sell a kidney to pay for it .. how much was it actually?

 

I seen one dealer on ebay, they wanted like $1200.00 brand new, one year warranty. Is that too much?

That's fairly average for new ones on ebay.

Ive seen between 900 to 1500 bucks. Never pay above 1500. Not sure, but it would seem that Acura would always be a little more. Do they offer any warranty? And if so, that would be worth the expense to me! Plus, breaking in something new is a good feeling.

Ive heard that Honda trans are fairly weak... dont quote me on that.
I cant tell you if an aftermarket lsd is stronger or better, but the configuration of the Honda lsd is the best for your application. Gear type seems more manageable and less stressful.

Well, either way, i think you made a good choice for a decent price.

Good luck

 

i had a J4D LSD trans...(type r) and i had a 95 gsr motor...i think it bolts right on, but yea u bought it from the dealer?
i actually found minez at a junk yard down here in hawaii..."VERY RARE" but the guy crashed and i bought the trans for cheap , i wanted the motor but i didnt have the $ on me at the time ...so yea
haha

 

yeah ever thing will bolt right up the only diff. in trans is the gears and it has a lsd same housing and all. but i have to agree with everyone else you really wanted that trany hah. you could have ordered the parts and had two built cheeper im sure. well live and learn

im sure the new parts purchased seperately would have cost just as much or more. hell, just a new lsd, final drive and synchros seems like it would be about a grand..

plus he would have pay someone else to assemble it AND he wouldnt get a warranty...

 

on ebay I found a 0 mile one with no warranty for 1650 w/o shipping

But thats Ebay and people get screwed over, so I went to acura and paid $1,904 with 12mo/ 12k. I wanted it to be legit, not a ebay buy.
