DC2R Gearbox

[sokkie23]

Wondering if anyone can help me...

My mechanic reckons i need a new gearbox...

anyone know if its worth rebuilding current gearbox or better getting a new one?

I have heard the oem gearbox is best for the type r but anyone care to comment on other options?
if so... where is the best place to buy one?


cheers

its a 2000 model dc2r

rebuild the gearbox and chuck in a KAAZ lsd. Worth rebuilding it i reckon, a new one cost too much.

[sokkie23]

thanks... but ive heard its not much more expensive to put in new one or second hand one?

new one gonna cost u a arm and leg, not easy to fine one

u can find second hand one on here for around 1500-2000
check for sale thread, i remember someone selling it

what's wrong with the gearbox first?
depends on his definition of rebuild, change of bearings is relatively cheap compared to say new gearsets/synchros

surely rebuilding is cheaper than trying to find and buy new.

sorry to hijack a little, whats the difference between ITR box and VTi-R box? Is it all internal or are there external differences?

Also, t0niies, i thought type r box was LSD already?

[VTec1987]

yeh all type r boxes are LSD
type r box has shorter gears then the teg vtir

type r box has shorter gears then the teg vtir

sooo shorter ratios and higher final drive?

[VTec1987]

yes thats right, but depending on which type r box ur talking about as well

well i've got a '96 vtiR motor in an eg. wanting lsd so just trying to figure out options.

Integra Vtir gearbox has very long gears
U can get ur self M factory lsd and 4.9fd, that would juice up ur gb
or get your self a type r box

as vinny has asked, whats wrong with yours?

I just rebuilt mine, i only had to change the ISB and put in new synchros because gears 1,2,3 were crunching at high revs
