  We present results on the finite temperature QCD transition with 2+1 flavors
using Domain Wall Fermions (DWF) with the Dislocation Suppressing Determinant
Ratio (DSDR). In particular, we discuss how the use of DSDR allows us to study
the finite temperature transition at the coarse lattice spacings corresponding
to the transition region (T = 139 - 195 MeV) with DWF at N_\tau = 8. The
residual chiral symmetry breaking at these lattice spacings is sufficiently
small so that a constant pion mass of m_\pi \approx 200 MeV is obtained in our
calculations. The strange quark mass is set to near its physical value. We show
results on the restoration of chiral symmetry and deconfinement at finite
temperature.
