ICEMAN1647545504 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I guess it is just the b-series transmissions. I know they can hold lots of power. I though the K-series would be similar. Power doesn't kill transmissions, torque does. Normaly Hondas dont make much torque thats why their transmissions "are bulletproof". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOLK_DC5 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 im pretty sure the rsx-s is known for not having the greatest transmissions btw. the syncros start to go pretty easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ullBsorry1647545533 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 If its a 6 speed k tranny than yeah the tranny is prob fu bared. Boosted 6 speed trannys cant take the pwr/tq...thats why most boosted k motors have the 5 speed k trannys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew2o2 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I put this car together with josh and know that 12k is a steal. Just the turbo kit, fuel stuff, clutch, exhaust and kpro will easily run you 12k. The car put down 435whp on 10lbs and the dyno graph can be viewed on slowmotions website underneath the k series section and even though the car is josh's they have my name Drew L listed on the top of the dyno graph because i set up the appointment. So for 12k you get much more than 12k in parts and a car that was around 20gs alittle more than a year ago. If anyones curious all the car needs provided its just the tranny making noise is a built 6 speed and a set of axles to really be fast for a fwd. It has the hardest durometer avid racing mounts and the twin disc is a top of the line exedy unit. When josh first got it back from slowmotion i would say that on slicks after a little practice in would go high 11s. We built this car to be fast but josh still wanted something daily. The clutch is fairly easy to operate in my opion and it could deffinately be a nice daily setup even with a stock transmission aslong as you dont try grabbing gears hard.

HinckleyDSM1647545516 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Im going down tonight to pick the car up. I was reading all the post and just wanted to verify that it is just the tranny right? motor is good? I dont want to waste time driving there and it ends up being a rod knock.
