JDM 5-Speed vs USDM 5-speed

[cribbie]

Hey guys i have searched for some answers on this topic but turned out with no luck.
I found a JDM 5-speed tranny in my local area and i want to know what are the main differences compared to the USDM tranny, if any.
Gear ratios, strength, final drive ratio, HP range.
I have a 300WHP wrx that i have been pounding at the track with a stock clutch as well but it is time to make some new moves because i am building a EJ22T that will be done very soon.

Thanks for your help

Cheers

You would be better investing in a good gear set.

BTW this JDM tranny has 3.90 front drive ratio.

[DS1]

That would mean having to switch out your rear ring and pinion since yours is 3:54

I am not worthy of any specs?

I can get this transmission for less then a grand which is making me want to look into this a bit deeper.

[Unabomber]

We have no idea of the ratios or strength, so now you have your specs.

You would have to find out what tranny that is. Then get the code off the side of it....TYxxxxxxx then type that in GOOGLE.com, then it'll come up with what tranny it is. Then you can read some more on google's results... and you'll know wassup. It'll take you to UK, Australia, and even back here where people have installed said tranny.

That's great! thank you very much for that very inspiring comment!!

It is great seeing a very logical and legitimate question being asked in the "proper" topic being absolutely abandon because you personally do not know enough about a certain topic or matter!
I apologize for being a dick but the last i checked i was not asking for any ones suggestions or opinions on what i should choose or how i should spend my money. I was simply asking a technical question that i could not find on my own. If you personally do not know or have a way to help me or anyone else out to that matter, then save the wear and tear on your key board and do not reply to a thread!

And by adding a personal opinion to this topic it led me to think that your comment to me on saving up for a set of gears meant you knew what a JDM tranny can or cannont handle. Unless you are programed to spit out useless information on the fly, it might be more productive to reply to what is asked.

I wouldn't know.....because there are too many JDM style trannies.

This is the reason. Tranny is application specific. Look up my sticky at the top. It'll have said ratios for the "tranny" you speak of, if you find out which one it is....because I sure don't know with the given a JDM 5-speed tranny

[Tomas26]

get the tranny code in this way you will be able to find more info about it

[rougeben83]

dontcha guyz know? It's JDM so it's automatically better! amirite?




Get the code, then you'll know what it is. It could be a transmission from an N/A 2.0l for all you know.

Since you think you know more than my answer, here is my challenge to you:

I have $100 in paypal to you if you can find me any documentation on the planet earth that states the stength of a "JDM transmission". If you can find it, $100 is yours. If not, you will make a post titled "Unabomber knows his stuff, listen to him".

For the ratios, we have no idea in the world as there is no such thing as a "JDM transmission". No, you came here with 25 cents and a question, which I answered correctly as we have no idea. We need the transmission code in order to help.

If you want hand holding, visit the Newbies Forum, this is the Transmission Forum....where the men play. If you want me to move it and get fuzzy bunny replies, I can move it for you. Until then when I or someone else posts and you don't agree/understand, have a pair and rephrase your question like man and not whine like an e-thug. I'd be glad to help, just let me know what you want. And when you want your $100, let me know.

First off if you knew from the get go that i would require a transmission code then why wouldn't you suggest that in your reply in stead of consistently referring yourself as "WE".....

Who is "WE"??? do you speak in behalf of all NASIOC members?

Secondly you do not know me from a hole in the ground! and i do not find joy or excitement in arguing over something as foolish as this! You state that you would "be glad to help, just let me know". I thought i was doing that in my first post? I am far from a newb, and even if i was a newb it doesnt make this apropriate.
I have started a legitiment thread that i thought could possibley have some potental for some great information in stead of the dozens of threads beginning with "I broke my third gear" or " what gear is better ppg or RA"

BTW the transmission code is"
4E-TY754VRBAB

[FuJi K]

Is it this one???
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Subaru-5-spd-Gear...4231310001r657

It's a PUSH type. Phase2, looks to be from an NA. NOT turbo. '06 WRX trannies are different from that one. I will warn you NOW that the tranny you're looking at is not a turbo tranny. it will NOT be CLOSE ratio.... More than likely it might be from an Impreza L or Legacy L 99-04 year.

Now.... don't get mad, ok. From my knowledge of researching many trannies, this is what I have come with. You are more than free to purchase it if you truely think it's JDM and is close ratio. That tranny is NOT listed as STi RA, which is close ratio. Regular it isn't listed the same either. Don't bother with that tranny if it is in fast that one listed on eBay.

Also.... when you first posted... You just said you found a JDM tranny. You never gave us what year, tranny code until we asked you to. That's why we're not able to help you. If you where given that tranny code, you could have looked it up. I just typed it in GOOGLE.com and it came up with some leads. Very simple.

I say buy it because its jzzzzdmblingsyo

And by the way you will find, as others have, that JDM **** is more of a pain in the ass than anything. Maybe not on a Subaru 5mt, but when you have a trans. or engine that was not sold in the US or Canada (sorry) you will find it hard and annoying trying to find that little part that you need.

Like ****ing axle seals for a Honda M2B4 transmission, since it was the only H/F series OE LSD trans and ONLY sold in Japan and the axle seals for it are 1 off and ONLY sold in Japan it becomes a pain. So, with that being said, if you want your JDM bling transmission that is probably a spread ratio NA transmission or simply a standard turbo 5mt go for it, but you will find you might has well have burned your grand...

Unabomber you are an arrogant PRICK! The kid asked a simple question thats it. A real MAN that likes helping people wouldnt talk to members or anyone...noob or not in that manner. I suppose the second that you were conceived you automatically knew any/everything Subaru related. The BE ALL END ALL knowledge holder. Do yourself and everyone else a favor and keep your mouth shut if you cant answer someone's question like an adult

Well I hate to break it to you there is a huge difference in the jdm and usdm one is a 4.11 3.80 final drive where the other is a 4.44 3.90 final drive the jdm trans is much more reliable to stage 2 ej20 stock clutch you should do your research before u flash that 100
