transmission question
 

i have a jdm k20a type r motor in my rsx but it has a ep3 transmission because the previous owner was going to boost it so my question is if i get a type s transmission will i be able to use the clutch and flywheel off of the a3 on the type s tranny??? thanks in advance

YES, clutch has nothing to do with how many gears the tranny has

alright so i shouldnt have any problems putting the type s tranny in and using the old parts off of the ep3 to the new tranny?

nope 02-04 s tranny works with everything you have

Base, Type-S or Type-R drivetrain parts do not always mix and match. This means you can't use a Base Flywheel with a Type-S Clutch and Pressure Plate

Interesting comp. k20a with an ep3 5 speed tranny? How is the pull?

its alright nothing special lol

its a straight bolt bolt on if u swap. i got a type s tranny on my a3

which clutch/pressure plate/etc are you using though

I've always been told they were completely different.. But I've never owned a 5speed tranny to check for myself..

If you are running a base clutch/pressure plate, you must have a base flywheel.
If you are running a type-s clutch/pressure pltate, you must have a type-s flywheel.

I'm almost positive the actual spline size and teeth count of the input shaft are the same, so you should be able to just swap the transmission while keeping the same clutch.

Colten, if you still have your old clutch disk, bring it over while my 5spd is out of the car and we can see.

Very true..

weird my transmission has a ep3 code on it but its a fucking 6 speed ???? what kind of shit is that....this whole time i thought it was a 5 speed but its a 6 speed previous owner even told me it was a 5 speed but its definitely a 6

You sure its 6th, or reverse? Is the car running?

yes im sure its a 6 speed and yes the car is running and no its not reverse lol its a 6 speed i just never bothered trying to go into 6th because previous owner said it was a 5 speed but its deffintly not a 5

There's no possible way.

You must be mistaken

il make a video its a 6 speed no im not mistaking how the hell can u mistake that? iv driven 6 speeds before i know what the hell im talking about lol

Liar

even aaron from tsr drove my car and he even said it was a 6 speed

ok i lied a little bit when i said i knew what i was talking about lol but its not a 5

Is it possible i have a jdm ep3 6 speed tranny?

They exist.

That would make it a ctr tranny with lsd on a 4.7 final. Your 1-5th gears would be short as fuck

But I believe it's also possible to put a 6gear stack in the ep3 case.

Idk its weird i had aaron from tsr drive it and he said it was a 6 and it is and i took it to bbn aswell and they said it had a ep3 code on it so honestly im confused as fuck i just want to know what transmission i have lol

possibly the tsx 6th gear added

At 7400rpm, what is your mph in 3rd?

hell if i know lol my speed is in km not mph so i never know how fast im going ha

ughhhhh

find out what your kph is tomorrow, and what size tires up front?

Alright i will and i dont know the exact size but i do know they are 17's

i need exact numbers
