Tranny Dilemas
I have a fully built LS/Vtec putting out 205hp/150tq to the wheels.
Recently my tranny has been grinding into second and I'm not totally sure what I should do. My options are:
Buy used ITR tranny,
or Rebuild GSR tranny and add either ITR LSD or Quaife LSD.
What are some respectable prices I should pay for both setups and give your opinions. Keep in mind I don't know how to do my own labor. Also my car is my daily driver. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Tranny Dilemas (Alpha_GSR)
i have an lsvtec motor that consists of ctr pistons ls rods ls crank type r oil pump gsr head jg sprigs and valves and a slight clean up on the head
what do you think my hp is
any way i blew my gsr tranny on the track alot of wheel hop (Z10 RADIUS RODS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND) i am looking for another trannny i would rebuild your gsr tranny and put the quaife lsd in it that way you could also do all your syncros and check the forks ect... if you buy a type r one you end up spending more money and you may still have to replace 3rd guear syncro
just a thought
ps what is your set up to get 205 hp 150 tq

Re: Tranny Dilemas (Alpha_GSR)
Used ITR tranny: 700-1000 depending on mileage
Rebuild GSR: I dunno
ITR LSD: Check out eBay, there are a couple on there right now, brand new
Quaife LSD: Pretty much $800

Re: Tranny Dilemas (Alpha_GSR)
the rebuild prices are impossible to conjecture until the required werk is documented...who knows, there are so many moving parts inside that thing...when you tear it down, besides the synchro(which i think comes in 2 gear sets from honda, $$$), you mite need shift fork(s), and some other parts like mainshaft bearings mite show some soon-to-be-fatal wear when you tear it down...the itr trans is a gamble, there should be a guarantee atleast for 1k miles or 3 months, to give you ample time to see that it werks as it should...
