maybe you should just run a temp guage and if it seems to be getting above normal, add the trans cooler?
sorry no experiance there. sorry nobody's helpin yet. not many people seem to get to worries about their trans here.
cryogenic treatments are probably what your looking for, if your worried. that heat treats the metal, and makes it real resistant. i'd run it easy at first, and monitor it as best your wallet will let you.

quaife... i found a kaaz for 150 cheaper.... i may still be able to exchange it what do you guys think?
I hear phantom grip and slicks was a big loser bet so i decided to spend some money
And the NW Honda challenge races are short, so i was more worried about road tripping than anything. I have a cooler lying around (it was actually for a 72 cutlass) so using a gauge and then making a decision sounds like a plan.
3500rpm @70 mph isnt too bad right?

lol maybe you are over worried about it. my stock JDM B16 with Y21 trans is spinning 4,200rpm @ 80mph, my normal highway speed. I'm pretty sure you'll be ok.
sorry i dont know where you could get a cryo treatment. maybe someone else will come through with some knowlege.

Plenty of road course D's running no transmission coolers with zero problems. I'm running a DOHC ZC transmission with a 4.25 FD, I turn around 3700rpm at 70mph and usually cruise between 3700-4000rpms for hours with zero problems.
DX transmission do have VSS's, it's just different styles(mechanical ones in the 91 and older, and electronic in the 92-00). The VSS's are interchangeable so that doesn't matter.
Run Honda MTF and you should be fine.
I recommend on you talk to BoneSpec/TransZex on D-series.org or Onecamonly.com. He's the D-series transmission guru and has a lot of vouches from pro racers.

yeah had a friend with a ls vtec and that short tranny.I didn't know he was spinning like that... it WAS fast as stink though!
I think all will be ok, im sure i'll just install a temp guage to be on the safe side
Its a king motorsports super ring and pinion in 4.9 ratio.... a friend decided his first gear was too short on 15's so he went with 4.7
I want to run ricer sh it like 17's and mesh grilles to be sleeper so 4.9 is perfect for me!
ef-in NINJA!
