1991-1996
manual transmission NSXes were equipped by the factory with a 5-spd
transmission using a twin disc clutch.
1997-2005 manual transmission NSXes were equipped by the factory with a
6-spd transmission using a single disc clutch.
Owners
of early model 5-speed transmission owners may upgrade to the later
model 6-speed transmissions. The conversion process is simple. In order
two install the transmission, you will need: |
- 6-spd transmission (complete
assembly)
- reverse lock out solenoid
electronics
- single disc clutch or convert
using a twin spline input shaft
|
|
6-spd transmission: |
- There were two transmissions
offered in the US for 1997-2005 NSX. The transmissions differ only
in how many double cone syncros are used. The E61 transmission has
double cone syncros on all 6 gears. The A61 has double cone syncros
on the first four drive gears. We recommend the full double cone
syncro E61 transmission for heavily tracked NSX and the regular A61
transmissions for street/track cars.

reverse lock out solenoid electronics: |
- 1997-2005 NSX use a circuit that
is a part of the ECU to fire a solenoid pin when the car exceeds 25
mph. By doing this, a driver can not accidentally engage reverse
when the car has forward speed. Since 1991-96 NSX lack this circuit,
it must be added. There are three solutions:
|
- simple relay using brake
lights as a trigger - this is the standard method used by
ScienceofSpeed. To engage reverse gear, the driver must first
step on the brake pedal. Included by default with the
transmissions. Requires t-tapping factory wires and installing
supplied relay. This kit is included with each 6-spd
transmission we sell at no extra cost.
- plug and play solenoid
controller - controller uses circuit that plugs into factory
speed sensor and solenoid. J8ust like factory, activates
solenoid when the car reaches 25 mph. Plug and play, no wire
cutting required.
- Aftermarket ECU - if your NSX
has an aftermarket ECU (such as the AEM EMS) with output
triggers - you can configure the computer to activate a relay to
control the solenoid.

single disc clutch or twin spline input
shaft modification: |
- The factory 6-spd transmission
uses a single spline input shaft that is compatible with single disc
clutches only. If you have a 1991-96 NSX, you may use this
transmission with a single disc clutch (like the RPS Single Clutch
sold here). If you prefer to use a twin disc clutch (either factory
or aftermarket), we can exchange the input shaft in the transmission
using the twin spline 6-spd input shaft from the NA2 NSX-R. The
shaft is sold separately below. We also offer the service to
exchange the input shaft.
