I am building my trans and I want to put in 4.44 or 4.55 gears...does anyone here in phoenix have a set or know of a set for my spare trans that I am building for racing? It is a spare so I do not want to buy new for just a couple of passes at the drag strip.

4.44 or 4.55 gears?

You might try contacting SOS. The vast majority of NSXs around here pass through there, they're a good resource for info of this kind.
No I have not checked SOS , I will check there but I know Chris at SOS checks out these forums and if he had a used set for sale he probably would have contacted me. I am not interested in buying brand new gears for just a few passes as I try to reach my goal. Thanks for your input.
Depends on your goal for the car. If you have FI, then the stock 4.06 gears are best. For NA, the 4.23 (NSX-R) is perfect for the 6-speed and marginal for the 5-speed. 4.44 and 4.55 make the 5-speed very buzzy and I think only work for a pure drag car. I have driven a 6-speed with the 4.44 and did not like it- too short. Also, I know there was an issue with the CT 4.55 breaking relatively early in use. In my own NSX (NA), I have the JDM gear stack with the 4.06. It is perfect on street and track.
I am building my spare tranny for drag racing purposes only and once I reach my goal I will remove the tranny and sell it for whatever I can. I would prefer 4.44 gears as they have proven to be stronger than the comtech 4.55 gears . Thanks for the input
