[ Possible to use NSX auto-trannie's? ]
Has anyone with an automatic contemplated getting a NSX torqueconverter/transmission?

The gear ratios and final drive are MUCH better than ours:

Final Drive: 4.428
1st Gear: 2.611 - (42mph/6800rpm)
2nd Gear: 1.466 - (76mph/6800rpm)
3rd Gear: 1.025 - (109mph/6800rpm)
4th Gear: 0.684 - (163mph/6800rpm)
Rev Gear: 1.909 - (58mph/6800rpm)

I have looked on www.acuraautomativeparts.com, and the torque converter alone is around 1255$ USD.

I have heard of Eclipses and Lancers using the Vr-4 transmissions, is it possible to even do this with our cars?

<< "WTF? Final drive ratio and gear ratios have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with HP and torque your freakin post *****...what is your problem??" >>


can you honestly say that altering your final drive ratio will make your car fast?
unless ur gettin rid of that SOHC ULEV VTEC-E, slapping on that NSX tranny won't do jack

wtf, that tranny would so bog down. you'd loose speed as soon as you shifted from 3rd to 4th at redline. not enough torque to pull that ratio...

the NSX is a MR (mid engine rear wheel drive) our cars are FF (front engine front wheel drive)
it's like two women trying to have intercourse..

Like watching 2 women having intercourse, I'd like to see that happen. Plus the tranny wouldn't mount up seeing how the engine is a 3.2. Oh yeah, can you imagine going 58mph in reverse?

It wouldn't make a difference, because it would be sitting in a crate, idle...

There is no way you could shoe horn a C30/32 tranny into the engine bay of a D17 Civic...

Rebew - 58 mph in reverse...that would make for some awesome reverse 180 spins...

I want her so bad...you don't even know
