Default type R tranny swap or LSD for GSR tranny

I have a 99 GSR with a greddy turbo kit on it and my clutch is pretty much gone. I was looking at installing a LSD but they are pretty expensive. Would I be better off tryin to get ahold of a type-R tranny?? the torque steer is gettin to me!!

if you can get a Type R, but if you could afford the Quaiffe <--spelling, I would get that LSD its got a lifetime warrenty on it, but if you can't just search around for a Type R

Edit: Quaiffe's go for about 1000-1500 if i am not mistaken

you got a turbo kit on, why do you want short gear ratio tranny? keep the gsr or get a ls tranny and put a lsd on.

Get a Quaife. I'd stay away from the shorter gearing if I were you.

I, to this day, do not understand why people think that shorter gearing is bad for a turbo teg. If you're after acceleration, shorter ratios are always better

LSD, expensive..... how much do you think a new tranny cost (especially a typeR one) Besides even if you do get a new tranny you'll need still need a LSD to help with the torque steer.

*Agree with everyone else, Buy a Quaife LSD*
*life-time warranty even under racing conditions*
