My car is a 95 Gsr Sedan.Im doin a buildup on the motor and i am now looking to decide what tranny to go with.I would love to have the short gearing of the 98spec...but from what i understand....highway speeds/rpms suck.Also..with gears this short...would my powerband be used affectively?This will be a motor with some skunk2 stage 2 cams along with a 9k redline.Im looking for an all around tranny.Since im aiming to go multi purpose with my car.From drag racing,autoX,to road course.Any ideas?

96 ITR tranny = USDM ITR tranny.
98 spec ITR Tranny = USDM ITR 1-3, USDM GS-R 4-5 and 4.785 (or whatever ) FD.

IMO USDM ITR tranny (or 96 spec) with an ATS final drive.

At the worse, 98 spec with 96 spec/usdm itr 4/5. The RPM does not "suck" even with the USDM 5th and ATS.

 

AWwww PLease do something about that avatar!

 

omfg. thanks for bringing that to my attention ed.

if I didn't have the idea of censorship i'd report that ******* disgusting picture to the avatar police in no time

 

Yeah, thanks alot Ed. I never even noticed till you brought it up.

:barf: hmmm...don't remember eating that

 

No thanks on the avatar. Get the 98Spec.

 

In a comparison on highway speeds.Lets say 80 mph in 5th gear.Where would my rpm's be at with these trannies?And probrably on 16' rims.I drive alot on the highways..i really dont want to stress out my engine with high rpms for a long amount of time.Am i sacrificing my top end with a 98'spec transmission?Thanks..

The avatar is changed.No one even noticed until this post!HAHA

hmm. Im goin 97 with another FD

 

96 JDM ITR trannies is 4.40 FD and ive heard they dont have an LSD stamp. (mine has no LSD stamp, i heard LSD Stampings started in 97.

 

Please! That is terrible.
