Good Morning All,
It's been about 4000 miles since we swapped a k24a2 into my 250000 mile Base 5 spd and she's been doing great! My only complaint about the 5 spd is 3rd gear is way too long. I have a Type S tranny that I picked up locally, so I gave it to my buddy to swap in an 8th gen Si LSD. The base typically gets a lot of hate, especially on the Facebook groups. Most of the hate I see in the groups is from stock or lightly modded Type S owners. I guess my question is, is the type S really worth the extra money if you're already mechanically inclined.
