90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

How is this done? anyone know of a step by step write up on this? I will be buying a 92-93 GSR tranny to replace my dying ls tranny and I heard the gsr tranny is closer ratio than a B16 tranny. Would love to have the fifth gear to help with cruising rpm/fuel economy. Thanks for the help guys O0

btw: anyone got a solid, no grind 92-93 gsr tranny fs?

the b16 trans is the shortest. the GSR is in between an LS and B16 trans

Hold my wang.

hmm...I read all through that, but I couldnt tell if they are interchangeable. When he counted teeth on gears he didnt get the cable tranny gears. What would determine for me if they would be interchangeable?

Thanks

Hold you own wang Jo :-*

u can swap the gears (mainshaft and matching countershaft gear) i know that much

but i dunno about the shift forks

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

I think there's a bit of difference between USDM 90-91 and 92+ gearboxes - whether or not the later ones are hydro. JDM 89-91 cable gearboxes share some similarities with 90-91 LS, but are kinda wierd about interchange.

JDM and small spline 90-91 LS have aluminum shift forks from the D-series. Not interchangeable with later steel forked boxes, unless you modify the case to fit them and even then I can't assure you they line up perfectly with the gearsets.

92-93 GSR is like a hydro B16/LS box except with cable provision. Don't quote me, but most stuff is interchangeable. I think Bone would know, you can ask him :-*

NOW. Where is my wang holding?

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

I have heard the 92-93 gsr is the same as the later hydro tranny only is a cable. I'm actually going to try to requisition (sp) one and see just how short the 5th gear is befor eI do anythign else. I may just buy a trashed ls hydro and get it's 5th (assuming the gears are good).

Original plan was to send this tranny to gearspeed for a rebuild or just buy a type2 tranny from them, but I'm sick of this slow ass acceleration. >:D

I'll hold your wang lata joey. :D

Call Atlee at 828 628-6424. He should be home after 5, has early evenings due to early work mornings so I wouldn't call past 9:30 or so. Tell him, "HEY MAN, you don't know me but Joseph said I should call up your unevolved Caveman ass and ask about the gearing of your YS1." Don't forget to tell him I've been photoshopping pictures of his face to naked women and posting them to the interweb.

He currently has a B18B with the 92-93 GSR YS1 gearbox, he can probably give you good rpm/gear advice.

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

You want acceleration? Go get yourself a JDM S1/J1 tranny and have fun. It makes for a fun stoplight racer,so much that you'll want to yell VTEC out the window. You will be cruising at around 4500 rpm in 5th @ 70mph tho. I had a JDM S1 on my stock boosted LS@ 8psi for a while. Crazyed acceleration till about 115 when you run out of RPM's(if you're stock top-end).

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

thanks Jo. I'll give him a call in the next couple days. I'll be changing my wheel bearings tomorrow/friday, and replacing the front main seal. fun fun.

Speed Phreak: I actually thought about getting another JDM S1. The one I had before took a ---- on me. I loved teh acceleration with it. I dont remember cruising on teh highway with it soo much anymore. It's been a while. If I do get the 90-91 JDM S1 tranny (small spline) would I be able to swap the 5th gear from this gearbox to it?

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

AFAIK, yes you can swap the 90-91 LS 5th gear set into the JDM J1/S1 shits. Just beaware that the LS 5th gear will feel like "6th" compared to the rest of the gears. In speed vs RPM terms if you put the JDM S1/J1 in 5th gear, it compares rather closely to an LS tranny in 4th. Take that for what it's worth when considering gear swappage.

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

hmm maybe I'll just get teh S1/J1 and not modify it at all....I rarely ever go up to 100 anyways. I just like to accelerate quickly, and even turboed this LS tranny feels long as ----.

Should I get teh new tranny from jdmshit.com or who would you reccomend? jdmshit wants 450 plus shipping I beleive. that is their starting price on B series trannies at least.

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
 

Newmann @ JDMshit is an old skool Hybrid guy. I'd trust my money with him.

Re: 90-01 LS 5th gear into a 92-93 GSR tranny
