Default Which to choose and where to find?

I'm looking for a hydrualic transmission for my eg hatch with a b18c1 swap. Here are my mods - dcsports 4-2-1 header, aem cam gears and intake, skunk2 intake manifold, crower 402 cams valve springs and retainers, june chip, skunk2 vtec controller, clutchmasters stage 3 clutch and flywheel, b&m pro short shifter, kyb adjustable struts, nuespeed lowering springs, unothodox racing crank pulley, 16" enkie racing wheels, powerstop slotted rotors, fluidyne radiator, 3" cat back exhaust. Which b-series transmission should I go with, where should I get it from, and what should I expect to spend on it?

if you want small gears... go with a b16 it has the smallest next to the R. if your not so worried about gear ratios.. go with the gsr b18c... less to worry about because it is stock for your motor.... in san diego, trannys go for about 450 to 650 depending on type.

ITR and B16 transmission gearing is the same. (with the exception of the latter years with the shorter FD) The C5 tranny is the same tranny with a LSD.

If you've got the money get the ITR tranny with the LSD, if not grab a B16 tranny. The shorter gearing will lead you to better accelleration, but will lead to a higher cruising RPM.

Is that 450-650 shipped or would I have to spend more for shipping? Is it a new or rebuilt tranny?
