No, There Isn't Anything Economical That You Can Do To Make The Transmission Any Better.....Please Stop Typing Like This.

Most people agree the first letter of every sentence should be capitalized. Why do you think it should be the first letter of each word, except the first word of a sentence?

Some people put a different final drive in.

shouldn't you turbo with the h23, or f22 tranny?

.....damn everybody always talks crap on that...but like i said before its that stupid yahoo e-mail format my sister has on her computer and i just forget to change it back....anyways..........

............so what about that final drive in some people put....those it really help with the car to make it faster.....or its like whatever....thanks..ANIAK_1....

A final drive just lowers your gearing. You don't want lower gearing with a turbo, you want taller gears. That's why it was stated that an F22 or H23 would be better.

keep the stock tranny put lsd in it and get a good clutch

end of story no need to throw more money into ur car other than a turbo and a good tune

v8killaz · 03-07-2009, 03:29 PM

also get some good rubber

ANIAK'S_LUDE · 03-07-2009, 03:48 PM

.....sounds good to me...just making sure the stock tranny will work fine when i tune my car more and a good size turbo on it....but yea thanks v8killaz...thats exactly the straight answer i was looking for...

What's up with all the ellipses rather than periods?

You mean you're not suppose to put 17 dots between each idea or thought?

Did you say you bought a Prelude Type S trans? If so sell it and buy a JDM 5spd with the OEM LSD or a USDM 5spd and have a Quaife LSD installed.

Umm he never said put in a lower fd, you can put in a taller FD and it would be the same as putting in a h23/f22 tranny. Now would that be economical? I don't know, but FD's just don't lower your gearing. It can go the other way.

I have looked into customizing the gears in my 5 speed to make the final drive more similar to that of the itr but it is so expensive that it is not really worth it, however....the same guy who can and is willing to rebuild my tranny told me that the best thing to do was either buy the lsd from a type s and put it in or to buy a Kaaz 1.5 way lsd....he also mentioned something about the clutch type lsd's failing eventually if you go high boost.

lilredlude · 03-07-2009, 09:59 PM

the type s doesn't have lsd.

True, but since I haven't seen a FD for a lude that has taller gearing, I'm assuming it would be costly to get one.
