Default Throttle body gasket question...

Is there any difference between B series TB gaskets? A friend and I just installed an AEBS intake manifold and ported type R TB and the gasket didnt seem to fit right. im lookin for some insight on this, thanks in advance!

The answer is yes they have different gaskets for either "auto" or "manual" trannies.I just installed my own homemade TB gasket cause the one on it was not the proper gasket.A new gasket goes for about $5.00 at Honda/Acura or you can buy a gasket kit at your local auto parts store and make your own.It takes a few minutes to trace the gasket and make your own but once you make it trace another one before you install it on the car and you have as many "copies" that you need and with the gasket kit you could make probably 6-10 new gaskets for about the same price as a new one from the dealer.

Thanks for the info, I just found out that there IS a difference between the two. As far as making your own gasket is concernd, at 5 bucks I think Ill just buy one from HONDA! But thanks for the knowledge!
