I've read only a few articles on this. Any personal expieriences or rumors? I was thinking of maybe doing and ls in my b16 tranny. 4grand cruising on the highway is not cool i could only imagine a type r.

thoughts?

it works great and is a good mod most of the time if you are worried about gas and high cruising rpm. And will fit pretty easily.

I thought the ITR/GSR/B16 trannies couldn't utilize the LS FD?

I found this after a quick search.
Might provide some insight

Sounds like a good idea.

i believe that for the fd you can swap the b16 and ls, and the gsr and type r go together.

big difference in the final drive and the 5th gear


final drive is what all the individual gears connect to. it is equivalent to the axle ratio on RWD cars.

ls 5th = 0.714
usdm itr 5th = 0.848
jdm 98+ itr / usdm gsr = 0.787

ls final drive = 4.2666
gsr/b16/usdm itr/pre98 jdm itr = 4.4
jdm itr 98+ = 4.785

ls 5th gear is worht it if you're installing other stuff, such as a LSD, and/or final drive. Or replacing bearings in the tranny.

pulling the tranny, cracking it open, JUST to replace the 5th gear = waste of time. Better to spend that 7-8 hours of work to work overtime one week at work. Cause that will give you less headaches and give you more money than you'll save in gas.
