I recently ran into some issues with my transmission and was told by my mechanic that’ll i’ll more then likely need to have it replaced. I’m here looking for any information on a shop or person that has worked on these transmission as apparently no one in my town has experience working on them. Mainly with building a stronger transmission to put up with some abuse. After some research online, i’ve noticed that the transmission aftermarket for the Type R is very very small. So far the only thing I have found is a upgraded 4th gear made by RV6P and a guy in FL thats rebuilts transmissions with it installed

https://www.geardriveninc.com/Honda...smission-FK8-6SP-LSD-500HP-RV6P-4th_p_90.html

Just let me know if anyone has any information that will help me get this car back on the road with a stronger transmission.

Only thing I've heard of is updated 3rd?/4th gear sets from HPD. We have torn down a couple now, they all have driver hinted abuse in common. 2nd gear synchro is junk from 1-2 drag shifts, reverse is junk from throwing it in gear from a roll etc.

Honda manual trans are historically bulletproof. The materials used usually withstand hundreds of hp over stock. I took a gear to a local machinist once to have it milled down, guy came back pretty shocked at how hard it was, coming from a 30yr veteran machinist.

Hello!, I'm working with a company who make race transmission and gears, working on a gear kit with a couple options different ratios gear set for 1 to 6 th gear forged 1000hp capable, this is a long project. The price range won't be cheap, around $4000 just for the gear set aprox.


I will keep you guys posted.

However everyone swears they're 'manual masters' in every grind thread... :D

I reached out to the guys at drag cartel and they told me that they should have a gear kit coming out soon. Im curious if there is anyone out there who made carbon synchros for the type R.

That changes everything! Sign me up for 3rd & 4th gear. Are you working on a set of synchros to pair with the gears as well?
