gear speed sells an LS 5th that will work with your tranny housing. its like 2 and change if i recall correctly.
it will make you at a lower RPM for parkway crusing, obviosuly only in 5th gear, the rest will still pull hard.

ARE YOU STUCK IN CAPS MODE?
You sound like a total *****, us J1/S1 drivers have it a lot worse.
What was the goal of this post? Were you actually posing a question to us or bragging that you have a 99 GSR tranny and therefore a hydro conversion kit?

Re: (CRXBart)
man my brother has a b18a hatch with the b16 transmission. i love that thing haha. i would never take it for any kind of distance on the freeway but no matter what gear your in you can stomp on it and go. dont complain about your gears being too short. i thought this thread was gonna be some product to make em even shorter haha

Lol, I would love that! I'm going about 50 in third gear at 2000. My tranny is SLOW as *****.
But there is an Si coming...

All this tranny crap is one of the reasons I chose as the route I did. Who wants to deal with rebuilding a 15 year old tranny, adding an LSD, and finding the fabled LS 5th gear, so that the mileage doesn't suck? I took the easy route, and it was a few $ cheaper than the built B I was gonna do. Thats why I posted here, because this is relevant, not just a I got a K I'm cool post. I just had to make you guys pry the info outa me....
