JDM transmission vs. USDM - Honda Prelude Forum

SlowSi · 01-04-2003, 11:40 PM

Is there any difference between a USDM VTEC transmission and a JDM VTEC transmission?

Thanks

LSD.

Some, not all have LSD. Not too many though. . .

The gears are exactly the same, however there is an optional LSD available.

How good is the LSD that comes on those trannies? I decided that if I were going to get an H22 swap it would have the LSD. Is it even in the same class as the Quaife?

You can get traction control in Japan too.

I think thats right actually. I was wondering what type of system it was. On our FSAE car, we run traction control, but everything is controlled by the Motec ECU. . .it just varries the timing or fuel maps to compensate for wheelspin. Obviously, this isn't the way the Prelude system (it's not built into the ECU, as far as I know).

I think it is in the ECU, cause it will throw a code 36 if not hooked up properly. Which means you have to swaps some pins from doing a regular jdm swap.

I thought it's been posted before, but jdm 92-96 trannies have gearing somwhere in between usdm 92-96 and usdm 97-01.

Is is possible to get just a JDM tranny with LSD or what? How much do they usually run?

Yeah the tranny code is M2B4, it's usually about $700

Well for people needing the tranny as well it's a good upgrade, and you can defintely get the tranny for less than I said.

Plus add the cost of the Quaife install versus just a tranny swap.

What exactly is the quaife? is it a LSD or what? I keep reading about it a lot lately so I was just wondering...
