ive looked hard around honda-tech and google and couldnt fin the answer to my question. Typical type r lsd trannys have the ink stamps: "N3D" and most popular "J4D" on them... but do any owners or anyone in general know what the "R4" stamp is???

 

The "R4" stamp is from the B16B CTR transmissions.

 

alrighty... good tip. i searched for pics of the CTR tranny and found a faint pic of the R4 stamp on it.. but are we sure that it didnt come on any ITR trannys???

I'm 99% sure that stamp didn't come on any ITR trannies. It is basically the same trans though. A few of the brackets are different but all of the insides are the same.

 

i feel ya. you talking about the 96-97 type r.... keeping this thread up. seeing if there is ANY other info out there. but you have pointed me in the right direction.

From all the trannies I've seen, and I've seen a lot of trannies, these are the codes I've come across.

J4D=USDM ITR Trans/JDM 96-97 Trans 4.4FD

N3E=JDM 98-01 ITR Trans 4.7FD

E3D=Euro 98-01 ITR Trans 4.7FD

R4=97-00 CTR Trans 4.4FD

 

is this true? i see plenty of n3e for sale from personal garage sales and e3d from icbmotorsports. i trust icbmotorsports, just not the personal garage sales. just want to make sure im really getting 4.7 and not 4.4.
