6 speed gearbox

[syco13316]

just wondering if anybody knows if you can use the gearbox of a rsx type-s or do you have to get the jdm type-r gear box for 6 speed? Looking to buy the 02 type-r k20a with trans. let me know

[AKEP]

get the jdm one it has lsd. rsx-s doesnt.

[syco13316]

do you know the best place to get one?

02-04 type s trans. bolts right up IIRC.

I'm pretty sure you have to buy the shifter brackets that the cables connect to for the Rsx, if you are planning on using the type r transmission

[mitchlikesbikes]

i think both the type s and type r trans bolt right up. the 05-06 rsx transmissions are the ones that require modified brackets and what not.

i think im going with the jdm trans but i cant seem to find anyone who sells the jdm shifter anyone know where i can find the shifter so i dont have to cut a knotch out of mine?

What year EP3 do you have? It's mostly hit or miss but from what I've read the 02-03's had a better chance of NOT having to notch the shifter to compensate for the 6th gear.

Also, the only thing you need to modify with the 02-04 Type S trans is you need to swap the gear selector mechanism or the actual selectors themselves.

#1 and #2 are what you need to swap out if you plan on keeping the mechanism from your EP3 trans.

If you do get the trans with the RSX-S mechanism, leave it alone that's what #3 is.

nice ok yea i was just gonna get the complete k20a and trans. my car is a 02 but will changing the selectors work with the type-R trans

Yes, the JDM K20A trans use the same transmission case as the 02-04 Type S and gear selector.
