Default rsx-s tranny... finally done

first let me say what i've got done- quaife lsd (props to earl), clutch masters metallic HDSS clutch (thanks viren), and a fidanza flywheel (thanks bert-o). it took about 2 days to get it done and i'm still taking it easy for the first few hundred. clutch feel almost stock except a slightly stiffer feel(not much, you're still able to feather it) the flywheel is not super light, i'm guessing about 12lbs. stock is 22lbs. i think. if i'm wrong correct me. revs stay higher longer and it's billet aluminum. lsd is freakin' awesome. i haven't ripped it on a corner yet but traction is great. anybody thinking about upgrading...do it. it is well worth it in the long run. next week, turbo. i'll get a few pix and post them.

lsd- contact earl (H-T moderator and Quaife of america distributor)
clutch- viren @ VSRACING.com
flywheel-bert-o@ gettel acura of sarasota. see the sig.

nice, how much did you pay for the clutch and flywheel? I have a dc5-r LSd just need clutch and flywheel to install it at the same time. I might even get the dc5-r final drive.

yeah man drivetrain work is the best... I got a Spoon DC5R transmission in mine... my god... sooo smooth. LSD makes it feel liek a whole different car. I chanegd my clutch and flywheel to Exedy organic full face and theit 9.5 lb flywheel.

I weighed the stock flywheel... it's 16lbs.

I thought you only had to do figure 8's for clutch type LSD's. Quaifes are torsen types.
