... Does the ITR transmission have the 2nd / 3rd gear grinds? Is it stronger than the RSX tranny? I'm probably gonna have to pick one up and just wondering. I heard it's kinda race built tranny, and do most of them come with LSD?

 

They all come with LSD and no there is no 2nd/3rd gear grind that i know of. I have a JDM ITR tranny in my rsx and its great. The type-s should have come from the factory with this tranny instead of the POS tranny that it came with

 

4.5 Final Drive FTW!

All JDM k20a type R come with LSD tranny. As for the grinds... I'm pretty sure it will occur sooner or later. It's not immune to grinds just because it's a type r lol.

TAKE IT BACK!

 

Mine doesnt have any grind issues............ yet

 

nope it should be fine, dun worry, its diff then type s

 

What did it cost you?

 

my type r tranny feels like **** in the cold and has more 1st gear problems.

 

Yeah but it likely was abused. I don't think that is a general characteristic.

 

Maybe because they are so rare here ,but I have never heard of the ITR tranny having grinding issues...

 

mine got the same 2nd gear grind issue as my stock tranny did. they are not better IMO. the gearing and LSD is sick though, but its gonna grind eventually, sorry.

4.7 you mean

 

I personally don't have gear grinds with my Type R gearbox with over 100,000kms on it, although I know of a few guys that have grinds here in Australia.

As far as I know the gearboxes in Australian Type R's are identical to JDM.

 

i've had mine for almost 2 years now and i still have no grinding problems

 

i think i might save and buy a complete type r swap.

 

Yeah that's probably the easiest thing to do. It was pretty hard for me to find a type-r tranny that was parted away from a type-r swap. everyone wants to sell it as a complete swap but after 2 months of searching, finally found one and its GREAT!

 

im about to purchase a itr tranny. its a 02 and i have a 02. i have a few question i was hoping someone could help me out with. 1. will my stock clutch work in the type r tranny? 2. how can i tell forsure that its a type-r tranny? does anyone know the vin code? i dont wanna get burned. thanks

 

where can i find those jdm dc5 tranny? i might want one son or later.

 

jdmland has a tranny for around 1400 shipped. good deal, considering it has zero miles.

 

Where, i didnt see it on they're site. I saw the EP3 type r tranny for 2400 which is a far cry from 1400.

 

my bad, 2400. it's the same tranny and will bolt up with a 02-04 type-s motor.
