Prior to the Type r trans mission I had a gsr trans witch i still have...
I recently bought a Brand new tranmission from acura pretty much for the LSD, about one month ago. Im a little unhappy with the gearing. I didnt know how short it was. And i just paid $2000 for this thing
Its 4th and 5th that are way too short,

What are my best choices
1= rebuild the the gsr with lsd (it grinds 3rd and the diff wouldnt hold axles in)
2= What are my choices for 4th and 5th with he ITR Tranny

Thanks for reading!

Ok easy enough! Do i change it to a LS 4.2fd or to a aftermarket company

 

Can't change to an LS FD. 4.05 FD.

 

which gsr trans do you have? I want to buy a real short gear one that will fit a b16

that would work just fine too

I've always been a fan of tight gears and a long FD

 

Yeah I think it would be nice too. It will keep the revs high with longer gears

 

It is nice. I prefer the 4.058 FD over the 4.250 with my MFactory close gearset. Works better on track too (at least on VIR as thats the only track I've been on since changing to the 4.058).
