I need to replace the sleeve set on my m2a4. If I buy a set off of Majestic or from the dealer, are the parts the same? Pretty straight forward question.

Thanks guys,
Chad

 

Anyone? I need to order these parts today!

 

if the gear ratios are identical and its the same make and model of automobile i dont see why not...unless the synchros vary in dimension...when in doubt ask the dealership

 

The dealership isn't going to know about JDM parts!

I'd imagine they're mostly the same, but there might be some differences. I don't think anyone one the board can answer your question with 100% certainty unless they've rebuilt a JDM trans using USDM parts. I've only rebuilt USDM transmissions myself.

 

Yea. The dealer definately won't know. I have been searching on a lot of boards and most everyone says that all lude trannys were JDM anyways, so it should work. The gear ratios are not the same though. an M2F4 (usdm) has a shorter 4th and fifth gear then the m2a4 (jdm). I am not replacing the gears though. So I don't know.

Anyone else?

 

steve at hmotorsonline.com can get you a jdm sleeve kit. he's got a contact in japan and goes right to the dealer..

 

AFAIK the differences between the JDM & USDM transmissions are in the bell housing & final drive/differential bolt pattern. That's why aftermarket differentials (like the quaife) & aftermarket final drives (like the m-factory) do not fit in the JDM 4th & 5th generation transmissions.

 

Well I just ordered a new gear and syncro sleeve set. $160 using a honda employees discount.

Hopefully they are the same lol... I will take good pics when I get them in and compare.

 

$160 are you CRAZY!!! my sleeve kit was less than that even with the shipping from japan to ca and from ca to me. and it was the correct kit for the tranny

and i don't even get a honda employee discount

 

i thought 160 is a pretty good deal.
How sure are people that the quafie LSD doesn't fir the JDM transmission? I have read multiple posts that says it is not a problem for the m2a4

 

Wow, back from the dead.

The 160 is the sleeve and the gears.

As for the quaife, I have no idea....
