Well basically im building my zc for boost... and i want a new tranny with lsd.. i cant seem to find one anywhere... i know i could buy the lil ebay obd lsd and put it in but i would rather have a real lsd zc tranny... anyone know of any shops that sell "low mile" trannys? thanks any help would be appriciated

 

those "low mile" ZC trannys are rare. I have never seen one. You would be better off just buying a Quaife and putting it in your tranny. They're better and warrentied for ever! http://www.manufacturersdepot.com has them for 860.00. Guy people, that's where I bought mine.
Or if you want to keep the three piece axles on the ZC tranny you can get the Mugen LSD off king motorsports website for 1300 bucks. Still easier than finding a ZC LSD tranny (that isn't blown up or anything).

good luck
later, Davey

 

Call Gear-Speed...they can probably help.

 

Gearspeed Quaife

 

there is no WAY im going to spend $860 on a lsd for my lil d series tranny.. there has to be other ways

 

Okay...so what are you willing to pay?

While you may not like it, a completely rebuilt tranny with a LSD for under $1000 is a bargain. You get what you pay for.
The problem with the original OEM ZC trannys is that its hard to find one, but when you do, chances are the LSD is going to be nearing the end of its useful life. And I've looked extensively for a rebuild kit for the clutch packs with no luck.

 

the obx lsds have gotten better reviews since they changed something, like a washer. i thought i saw obx lsds for around 350 somewhere.

 

ya i have been thinkin about getting a obx lsd but still just unsure about the whole "obx" thing... i know there getting better and better but i duno.... im a call a few local tranny shops and see wat they would charge to rebuild my SI tranny.. i mean it doesnt grind right now but i dont wana spend 400 on a lsd and then have my tranny start grinding soon..

also when getting the tranny rebuilt should i just put new syncrows in it or wat? im not a big tranny guy and def. cannot rebuild one my self

 

if you want a ZC trans call Jimmy at JPR MOTORSPORTS in Elmonte he has a few ZC trans layin around

 

the stock D lsd is worthless for anything past 200, you best bet would be to get a quaife of a quaife copy(OBX)

 

I bought the OBX last year for my YS1 tranny. I'm putting 450hp to the wheels and no problems at all. I've put around 5000 miles on it.

 

Talked to "Bense" he is a tranny guru *****.

(again) Call gear-speed and get a set of their carbon coated syncrhos. A complete set is about $350 or so. You can sometimes get gears 2-4 for about $250.

When rebuilding transmissions, I like to replace all of the ball bearings, pickup magnet, and oil guides, and I inspect the roller bearings for wear and replace if necessary. I have never had to replace the needle bearings.

I rebuilt my D's transmission about a year ago with all new ball bearings, oil guides, seals, magent, etc (but not synchros) and the parts cost me about $250.

 

I have only heard bad things about OBX.
In my opinion you get what you pay for. 350 for OBX? or 860 for Quaife? And like
Got_Soy said OBX is just a copy... never the real thing.
Quaife is worth it.

 

as with all CDM products you have to take them apart.

 

Or do what i did
I got the s20 LSD and put it in the L3 Case.

its sommon for people to run 92 differential in the 88-91 trans because the diff pin is alot stronger

im in your same boat bro.. lol DEF hit up 'Bense' or just search for threads made by him. great guy (also has a myspace) does crazy **** with sohc trannies. he can build a close gear ratio trans using all honda oem parts for a sohc.. the guy just loves to tinker with them..

did you get those pistons and rods in the block yet? hows your **** movin along?
check out my myspace pics for my homemade setup.. ramhorns, inj, pump, tune, etc still to come.

 

IF you can find on, go with the zc lsd trans, I have one on my zc right now, actually came with my motor from europe. and i HAVE <u>YET</u> to see another one out there. But by all means if any of you guys see one out there i would recommend buying it up, even if you dont have a d-series motor, its STILL a good investment in my eyes. HELL, if i ever come across another EDM 0BD1 version ZC Im gonna jump all over it.

 

xx89civicracer89xx you can get it from gearspeed.com thats where i got mine. 443 final drive with quaife lsd l3 tranny... hope this helped
