who makes a 3.73 final drive tranny for a honda?

I wouldn't bother with the short throw.

you're missing an exhaust manifold stud too. i'm guessing 215whp, right?

*s4c trans...3.73 is obviously not the stock final.

Be better off getting a lsd in your ls tranny....shift points are about the same.

If you are using this on a ls motor.....your speed/rpm is about the same as the s4c with a 3.73 final. I was more commenting on how you are making a b16/etc. tranny longer geared like the ls......almost seems like a waste unless you have all the parts already (or can get them pretty cheap).

I also do not know how strong the factory lsd is....I haven't messed with one.

well the tranny is already in the car. i havent had any troubles with it what-so-ever as of yet (knock on wood) and i still have alot of other projects planned so for now i guess it will have to do...i know you had a setup similar to mine 5th..what trans setup did you do?

I had straight ls everything with a sc34 and a sc61.

I've also had a gsr transmission....which was way too short for a 7000 redline. I was going into 5th gear a little after the 1/8th mile. Threw a ls tranny back in and still had problems going into 5th before the 1/4 mark. So I just raised my rev limit to 7500 and the motor pretty much hit that at the end of the quarter.

Simple home made setup, pressure was up to 15-17 pounds for about 3 years.
