type s trannys dont have LSD?????

i could have sworn they did!!! or am i getting mis information that its only the ITR dc5 tranny??

 

only DC5-R tranny and the new civic si's (k20z3)

 

i dont know why they didnt decide to put one on the k20a2 or k20z1. its pretty shitty though. shafted

 

I think the 05-06 type s trannys have lsd too. I could be wrong, but i really think they do

ur definitely wrong

 

lol i wish my 06 came wit lsd

 

well now i know

 

I know thread back from the grave, but I was just reading my type s manual and it says to not drive with a spare in the front very long in a type-s because it is bad for the LSD. What the heck?

prose

 

The Honda Integra Type-R, sold in Japan, Australia, and some other markets, has reduced weight, a 220 PS / 164 kW / 217 hp (162 kW) K20A engine (Japan-only; Oceania models have an engine similar to the Acura RSX-S), as well as a limited slip differential (LSD) and stiffer springs and shocks, 4 piston Brembo brakes, 17" wheels on Bridgestone Potenza tires, Recaro suede seats, body trim, and more. The IIHS did not rate the RSX.

 

you don't know how often I wish they came with lsd...
itr or si trannys the only way...
and itr would be cheaper from and import shop..
si trannys run up about 3 to 4 grand...
i should know..i worked for honda...
expensive bastards

 

Huh? I'm just wondering why Honda put it in the manual...

Are you sure the manual didnt just state differential? and you assumed it ment LSD... I am just asking not acusing you of being wrong, so dont flip out.

What year manual and on what page?

Regardless, there isn't a LSD in there. However, it is good practice to put the spare on a FWD car on the rear of the car. Much less weight back there and it won't have to worry about traction for acceleration, braking and turning.

I'm sure that's what Honda is telling you to do.

You are correct, braking/ control are the main reasons the manual states that.

 

Lol. No, the Acura RSX & Type-S 02-06 do not have a Limited Slip Differntial. There are many options out there for LSD's. I went with Quaife and love it. GL

 

Check it out guys! 03 manual, page 262. I am not saying mine has one just because it says it, must have been a missprint.




Also, did a google search and found this.

Is this true about the "LSD test"?

interesting.....

 

i picked up my SI tranny up for 1000 with 8k miles on it.... I have beaten ITR hatches and reflashed rsx-s with just i/rh/e. The tranny makes a huge diff.... I saw another deal for 1200 too

 

Call up Acura America and let them know you have a dispute with your manual. Maybe you can get them to have your nearest service center install a LSD for you.

 

One can only wish

 

wow crazy... maybe I didn't need to buy this thousand dollar quaife LSD.... damnit lol

 

Tell them your car is missing a part according to the manual and you are worried about uh, "drive ability concerns."
