Tranny Question

[dynatac]

Greetings NSX enthusiasts.

I had a question I was hoping you could answer for me.
On the NSX models with the 3.0L engine, (specifically the 91-94) is there a difference in hp/torque ratings in the 5 speed vs the automatic?

If so, how much of a loss can be expected with the automatic?

Yes. I don't know the exact torque figures, but as far as HP the automatics from 91-currnent are all the 3.0L with a crank rating of 252HP. The 3.0L manuals from 91-96 all have a crank rating of 270HP. The autos already have less crank HP and generally autos have more drive train loss than manuals, so the wheel HP is a good amount lower than the manual.
