I'm current running NPR3 (civic type r) tranny on my k24 and gears are very short. I already know this tranny will not accommodate my new drag cartel 2.2cams too well. Im planning to sell it so I can either get a 5 speed rsx base or ep3 tranny. Im leaning towards the rsx base tranny currently but would like to hear your inputs. Or should I just get a type s 6 speed tranny? Car will be daily driver and see the drag strip once or twice a year. No road racing here.

why not try a 4.4 final drive instead?

that's why Im leaning towards rsx base tranny. Im worried that with only cams that I wont make enough power for 5 speed tranny.

Only use the 5spd if you want to boost, it will suck with all motor.

Like F-Bom said, just swap out your final drive in your current box.

even on boost a 5 speed sucks wish i still had my 6speed and on the highway the 5speed is revving high at 70-80mph

I was under the impression that I was not able to swap out JDM components with US parts: final drive. If I can then I will just purchase type s final drive.
thanks a bunch man

 

[brakaT]

They're all compatible.

 

[763k24]

do you have ep3 or rsx base tranny?

 

[josh2man]

ep3

 

[763k24]

thank guys

 

[763k24]

if I change to a 4.4, do I need the type s counter shaft or just the final drive gear?

why not try a 4.4 final drive instead?

 

[F-BOM]

you need the entire kit. shaft, gear, and bearing. AFH sells them.

you will regret it. get stickier tires. 4.76 is where its at.. people run way more power with 4.76 than just a k20 with 2.2's..
