I've already posted this in the classified forum, but I figure not many of you tend to go there.

If anybody is looking for one brand new at a fair price ($1900):

I don't think it will sell for $1900 but good luck anyways.

 

Thats cheaper than buying it through Acura, and with them being on national backorder, 1900 is a fair price.

 

 

 

Um...........yes, it alot cheaper than retail price. I've seen them roughly for $2550. if not more.

 

Again, its brand new, NOT used. I bet you won't find this at YOUR local dealership at this price.

 

dont mean to go off topic here, but how much is an itr tranny new? and how come the pos wrx tranny (new) costs 4500??

 

 

Question about the Y80 tranny vs the S80 tranny. Is the ITR tranny any stronger than a GSR tranny? Aside from the LSD, which I already have a better one anyways, are the gears or synchros stronger?

 

As of Outer casing and about 75% are the same. Minus some gears and diff. Synchros, I believe, are the same if not, no differ than any of the B-series tranny.

I know for a fact, theres' a Honda's bulliten about 3rd Gear and synchro for the '99-'00 Civic Si trannies. Which had a different part#. But I don't think theres' any different with the "R"/GSR trannies.

 

I got my brand new Spoon assembled CTR transaxle for $1600 2.5 yrs ago. So, relatively speaking, the price is a bit high. However, I believe that a brand new transaxle is worth a lot more than used ones since people tend to be very rough on them. The peace of mind is worth the extra $$$ IMO.

 

Agree, price is set a little high...........seen Spoon Trans for much less.

 

$1900 is a good price, Especially as they are on Back order! , I got my Type R tranny from a friend at Acura( With a Hook Up ) for $1850. If I had the cash I would buy it as a back up.
