Good Tranny

I'm doing a B18a swap into my 91 CR-X Si, I bought just the block and am finally finishing up with getting many of the internals i need for the build. I'm wondering though, what is a good tranny to use on that engine?

Re: (SwissChEz82)

How long is your commute. I would go with an LS tranny honestly. I love my J1 for racing, hate it for everything else. How would you like to ride around in fifth in the city, and be at 5,000 RPM @ 80 MPH....

Especially if you're going with a b18a bottom end (like mine) that isn't meant to be revved to ****. I hate having to be careful all the time about staying in the low rev range and shifting excessively.
