Hello fellows,
My brother will give his car to me this November when I get my license and his MaD 3 GeAr aint working. It scratches pretty bad when you shift into 3rd. He has a Gs-r tranny with a B18c5 in a Ek. Should I rebuild the whole tranny or get a Type R one with a LSD? I am only 16 and kind of confused on what to do. So any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Jason

 

get the type r one, nuff said

 

dont bother rebuilding, just get another one

 

Go type-r!

 

Have you tried changing the fluid to see if that helps any?

 

First, I'd try a fluid change and see how it does after a couple weeks. It might "fix" it or make it more useable.

If you get a new transmission, though, I'd say get a B16 or GSR and throw in a Quaife or KAAZ LSD.

 

My brother added 2 1/2 bottles of redline tranny fluid couple of months ago and this just happened like a month ago. Do any of ya know the price for a Type R tranny? I think I will bring it to Jotech in Garland, Tx and let them do it. I heards its around 1k - 1.5k $$.

Thanks,
Jason

 

Try flushing it with Honda MTF.

Not sure about the price of a Type-R transmission, but I wouldn't expect an easy time finding one.

 

What do you mean by flushing?

 

Drain and refil. A search will turn up a how-to of some sort. Probably a picture, too.

 

I did a search and no results on flushing tranny fluids. Can someone explain to me? I dont want to F%#^ up the transmission any worse. Thanks

sounds like you're not mechanically incline I suggust you take it to a shop to get it done. that's the best way for YOU to not **** up you tranny.

 

ill say take it to a shop 2

How much are you going to sell the GS-R tranny for??

 

be careful. if i was 16 and had that motor, i would have wrapped it around a pole.
but yea, go type r if you can afford it

 

hmmm...is flushing that hard?? I thought you just change the old tranny fluid and put in the new one.

 

Lets make this problem more easy on you. Since you got a Type-R motor with no Type-R tranny in the first-place, now's the time to get a Type-R. Hey, you got a car for free with the motor that has a busted up tranny. Just start saving, Type-R trannys run from $1,800-$2,300. Just search.

It's easy. Remove the drain bolt with a 3/8 socket wrench and let drain. Put drain bolt back on, remove fill bolt or speed sensor and fill it up with Honda MTF. There's a picture floating around somewhere, or you can go get the Haynes manual for an Integra from your local library.

 

Just for fun I asked the Honda dealer about a tranny rebuild for a SOHC tranny...

...$3500 for parts and labor.

Still wanna rebuild your tranny?
