I took a deep glance into H-T's new sponsor which is Gearspeed, in CAli. I live in the midwest so I wouldn't exactly be able to go and visit their shop, but I was curious if anyone has purchased tranny's from them, or spools, or LSD's... or anything from them.. and I was curious how their product's were... any info would be great thanx.

 

yea im curious too. actually hondatuning just did a build up for their drag crx's tranny with them, but i haven't gotten around to reading it yet

 

on the new hondatuning? I need to go to the store and get that, and see what's up... have you seen their price's at all? i can't find em anywhere...

 

yea its the newest honda tuning. they have a red and white s2000 on the cover. what prices are you talking about hondatuning mag price? its 3.99

 

no The tranny rebuilding price... or their tranny price's....

But I just got the new honda-tuning and I read that article, and they look pretty promising...

 

I am very interested in this as well since I have a 3rd gear grind. I will e-mail them right now and post when I get a reply.

oh haha!
yea im not sure about the costs but they have been around for a while so yea definetly promising im gonna look into it

 

if I was in cali, I would go myself and check them out, but no go on that part.. hahaha. Just moved to..... Minnesota&gt;&gt;&gt; YAY! haha...

 

I just got my tranny rebuilt by them. If you send your tranny to them, it will recieve a ton of attention. They assign one builder to each tranny from teardown to rebuild. Excellent quality control and attention to detail. Best part is that they use original Honda parts only. Even the bolts (if damaged) will be replaced with new ones.

SOOOOOOOOOOO...... how much did it cost you????????

 

i've been trying to find prices for their stuff, but they have none on their site, and none of their so called dealers even list their parts on their sites.

 

gear-speed is in RANCHO CUCAMONGA CA my shop deals directly with them on a daily basis james (gearspeedef9) is the cat you want to speek with. they are by far the most up to date , professional transmission shop out there. there # is (909)476-7252 tell him WILLOW SENT YA (inside joke he will laugh)

 

Anyone who needs pricing can call me. I will be more than happy to answer any of your questions. - James

Thank you Armaan for posting the pic!!

 

Thanks willow ( I am laughing )

 

is it illegal to post up prices.

I would really like to know as well, I'm to lazy to call.

 

i've seen trannies from their sister co. which rebuilds trannies for regular street cars. they look brand spanking new except for the used core casing. from what i remember, the street stuff has a really good warranty too. i think the sister co. which started the whole thing, is owned by an ex-honda tech.

gear speed seems to know their ish and they have some awesome options for building trannies.

 

we at Midnight Performance have used thier syncros in our race car, good stuff. also good customer service

 

MY FRIEND GOT HIS PRELUDE TRANNY DOEN AT GEAR SPEED AND HES VERY HAPPY WITH IT

HE GOT QUAIFE LSD AND ALL CARBON COATED SYNCHROS AND THEY REPLACED 2ND GEAR FOR HIM , TRANNY IS SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER, FROM ME I WOULD RECOMEND THESE GUYS

 

Gear speed is the **** .I never thought cable trans can shift so smooth.I was in disbelief the 1st time I test drove my car

 

B-series
OE rebuilt - $1400 shipped
Stage 1 - ~1800 shipped
Stage 2 - $2200 shipped

Stage 1 and 2 have polished or coated casing with carbon coated sychros, all new bearings and seals. S2 adds LSD.

These are quotes I have recieved calling around to replace my B16 Hydro tranny.

 

Just to clarify
The OE rebuild has traditional non coated sychros right?

so is it really worth it? i mean u could get a itr tranny for that price

 

We also have Brand new ITR transmissions as well. They are on National Backorder with American Honda. Three in stock! If you think the price is too much just think about the time and $$$ that goes into these transmissions. ie shipping to and from:$200, LSD around $800-900, Sleeve sets if needed(most of the time!) 250-300 each!, Bearings and seals OEM, $200. Case polishing or finishing $200. Carbon synchros $100 Oh, have we mentioned any labor yet??Nuff said . If you can get a used Japanese ITR than go for it, used being the key word. They aren't stupid in Japan. They beat on their cars if not harder than we do. It's a type R. Its taken a beating and its got mileage.

syncro's + labor = easily over a grand in most cases i believe...

sometimes you would like to know that you have brand new syncro's/gears than a used one.
