traction wont be too big of a deal depending on how early your spooling, if you spool up pretty fast then definately the ls tranny

 

Hows that's post whoring going?

 

with 300 whp, my LS tranny on my LS motor is perfect. i still have no traction in 1st or 2nd, but it hooks up great in 3rd. im at about 7200 rpm in 4th at the end of the 1/4 mile too.

 

My cable gay-dm S1 tranny seems to be a decent vtec tranny. It never falls out of the secondary range when I shift and has a great final drive for the tons of highway driving back and forth to work. Even in it's current n/a b16 form (although slightly beefed up) and with heavy *** 17" wheels I can still grab a mean 3rd gear shred. With the old boosted LS though it didn't catch traction until mid-way through 3rd gear, but it pulled like a rocket through 3rd and 4th.

Slightly off topic, anyone have any info on the S1's? I have to do a rebuild on it very soon...4th gear's starting to whine like there's a supercharger under the hood. :P

 

My third AND fourth are whining like a bitch too.....
And fifth scratches...then pops out while cruisin.....aint that a bitch....
I need me a 1st gen b16 tranny with an lsd...

 

I can help you with that but it wont be cheap


the lsd b16a trans that is

 

I know a guy that has 11 of them! and yah, they are far from cheap.

 

no way dude at least you can still race man, i got no 2nd and 3rd pops out of gear/

 

lol damn you guys got some bad trannys lol. luckily ive never had any tranny issues with any of my cars except this 87 4wd nissan sentra i had. the guy i bought it from rebuilt the tranny with gears out of a 2wd tranny, so im guessing thats why my tranny got fucked so hard. every gear basically went out except 4th i think, then the flywheel got busted all up and there was pieces everywhere when i opened it up. needless to say i got rid of that car haha. it was tons of fun in the winter out in the dunes though.

 

my b16 2+4th was grinding like a ****, and my boy hook me up with a free ls tranny, so I swap the internals, and now running ls internals in a b16 shell. only difference I see is the rpms. feel the same to me.
