Like DJ said though, alot of it is in how the trans is shifter.

Personally I HATE the Type-R box. I hate everything about it. I hate the ratio's, I hate the weight, I hate the fact that it shifts worse than any of the trucks that I've owned. The only good thing about it is it's a known strong box that can take ton's of torque.

What is the inherent flaw? How do you usually see them fail? Also what drive shaft would you use to make this work in the fc? That seems like another obstacle.
