I have been using the OBX LSD Since November 10 000+km still going stong. Works as it should and no maintenance.

don't hate on something Unt'il you Try it.

the Only Problem I have heard of is that some Axles get stuck in them, all you need to de-burr the inside to make sure the locking Clip slips out with no problem.

I have not had that problem with mine.

no i'm not trying to break them on purpose, i can drive fine as well...

turtle, thats the dumbest thing u've said ever... how can u judge someone like that? a car anda girl are 2 different things, my car is for fun and beating the piss out of, if u wanna play... u gotta pay, also, alot of the trannies i got were beat on and had fairly high milage on them too...i think if i get new inner workings i'll be set... my buddys blow 6 trannys since january as well so its not just me... he's gonna be helping me do mine so we can have it done faster

yes i have
i'm getting 2 trannys tonight, ones got new bearings, other one the condition is unknown, so my old ones coming apart, see what it looks like and how hard it will be to weld it

Dude you just gotta go easy on the heavy driving.

I think my S1 has been grinding gears for 3 years now and I still take it to the track on the weekends.. Its been good to me. (knock on wood)
Just go easy on the burnouts and stuff. I don't think I've ever done a burnout, so maybe thats the problem!?

[Hybrid1990crx]

Yeah since my swap I've never done a burnout or launched my car. I still drive it hard but burnouts are uncalled for. Hell even when I had a D series I think I did like 4 burnouts with it total. Just go easy on it man, give the 4th gen some love.

[1PhatCX]

so.. just picked up 2 new trannys tonight, both 91's, one has new bearings in it and i traded my amp for it, the other i paid 40 for but there both DX trannys but oh well, i'll be getting the Si repaired since i have a good casing here

[91civicDXdude]

if you cant do a burnout without dumping the clutch, you dont have enough power to be doing burnouts.

[Hybrid1990crx]

^^^^^ agreed

[V-K]

Haha, my LX can burnout without clutch dumping. Maybe you should find an LX that has been hit and yank the tranny out of it. 80,000 hard-driven miles on mine since I've gotten it.

[FuLL BLown STD]

i remember the 4spd dx tranny.. thing ran strong until i cracked the whole housing, didnt even know it was cracked till i spun uh little tire in the rain and the car stopped on me. musta been from the moisture getting in there. oh well any1 crack there shit yet?

lol, if i had my digital camera i'd show u this one, altho the first tranny i did was the worst, i blew the whole back of the casing off, this one i blew a hole on the inside about the size of a quarter.

but i dont need to dump the clutch to do burnouts either, i can slip the clutch and still smoke the shit outta them
