Default B16 transmission upgrade

I'm about to replace my transmissionon my b16. What other tranny works the best on a b16 besides the stock one? Any suggetions?

ITR transmission would be nice get one with LSD in it. What are you trying to accomplish? You could add a final drive and/or LSD to your current transmission.

a jdm b16 tranny w/lsd would work just as good as an itr and probably cheaper.
any b16/b18 tranny will be fine, try to stick with trannies that go with vtec motors, like gsr, itr, ect.

yeah my transmission right is just about shot. grinds going into third and fifth and the reverse isn't even working. would it be better to rebuild or just totally get a b-series with LSD? yeah if i do get a b-series with LSD i might get the b16 LSD for $1000 from hmotorsonline where i got my b16 from. anyone know other sites that got it cheaper? never dealt with changing trannys before how difficult could it be?

Hmotors is pretty reliable and 1grand for a B16 lsd tranny isnt that bad at all. Replacing the transmission isnt to bad. You can do it with the motor still in the car if you want.

well if your not one of those fucktards who has no idea what your doing, I would go for repaceing the snycros in your trans you already have, I forget the website but they have places that sell syncro sets, plus you know its legit since it will be brand new and not used.. plus you can prob find an lsd in the marketplace section plus syncos for cheaper than 1000$.. thats alot of money..

worst case, throw down 400-500$ for a used good condition b16 or gsr tranny...

just keep an eye out..
