Which K series box?

[Terrible One]

Im accumulating parts for a K24 swap into a EG and I was thinking about which gearbox to use. Yep I've searched here too and didn't find much.

I've found the K20 type R boxes are super expensive, is the Accord Euro box any good? I've found a couple places who will do a K24 and gearbox together for reasonable prices which makes it easier since I'll get a complete engine/box/loom package.

Is there a reasonably strong alternative to a type r box? Type S? Civic?

id be going for a Y2m3 (01-05 ITR) NPR3 (EP3R) RBC3 (CL7) gear boxes, all have factory LSD, all 6 speed, relativly even in gearing (euro R has slightly shorter 3rd and 4th) but if u have the money the FD2R box, it has a 5.062 final drive,6 speed, LSD blah blah

for any NA k series cars id reccomend deffs getting a 6 speed, somthing with an LSD

hope it helps

Yeah a LSD and 6 speed is definitely on top of the list of things I'd like. Small gearing differences wont really bother me but I cant justify the huge prices on ITR/FD2R boxes when compared to Euro boxes which seem a fair bit cheaper.

Is it even worth going for a CL9 box? Are there aftermarket LSD's available for them that could be fitted later down the track? Are they similar in size to the ITR/FD2R boxes? I think I read somewhere that a CL9 box is a bit bigger.

I have no idea about sizes or anything, but the cl9 box's are built quite tough from what I hear; (my mates a honda mechanic). The problem with the cl9 box (apart from no factory LSD) is the stupidly long second gear.
I can get 107kmph out of second in my euro...

Just something to think about

i think the biggest reason to get fd2r gearbox is the stronger synchros. for me at least.

fd2r box? dont know, its at least about 2500aud to bring in one from japan.
used, through yahoo auctions.

6 speed gets kinda annoying for daily. Prefer 5 speed for street and 6 speed for track.

how about manual tranny from '03+ crv? 5 speed? i heard they're pretty good, with short final gear....maybe anyone can explain?

Theres the slight issue of them being AWD, no?
