The tranny on my B16A just crapped out on me, and I was just wondering if I should just get a B16A w/ LSD tranny or if another one is better, so any input would be great, thanks.

Best tranny is the ITR tranny. shortest gears. but can get annoying from time to time on highways

 

arent the b16a and itr trannys the same except for the ITR having factory lsd???

 

nope the ITR has shorter gearing.
What is the car mainly used for?
I would just stick with another b16 tranny...

 

try to get one with an LSD. you'll love it. i know i love my gsr w/quaife. especially during the winter time...my car's a little snow plow, plowing through 10+ inches of snow while other cars get stuck.

 

yeah get a lsd if you can..i need one bad

 

Yeah my buddy has a shop and was gonna get me a B16A w/ LSD tranny for $1150 installed...I don't think that's too bad.

 

.. oops

Yes and no. The ITR has the same gearing, but with a taller final drive (numerically, so the gears are shorter). For a street car, a shorter tranny than a B16 tranny is going to leave you revved very high at 60-80 mph. I would probobally just get another B16 tranny also.

depends where you look. there's alot of info out there, but its hard to tell what's exactly right

b16a tranny has a tad bit shorter 1st, 4th and 5th, but the 98+ itr has the super low 4.785fd

 

It'll just be the jdm B16 lsd, so stock honda...

 

if i'm not mistaken, the JDM B16 tranny is exactly the same as the USDM ITR tranny right? someone correct if i'm wrong.

 

I had a very nice b16a back in the day. Made 175whp I had a usdm type R Tranny with a 4.78 final. It was great but I'm sure a 4.9 would be even better.

 

Okay well what is everyones opinions on a GSR tranny on a B16?
