thinkin about making the DA hydro..... im tired of seeing the cable laying in the bay

 

i dont think the cable to hydro conversion would be too hard, i dont think its really too expensive either is it?

 

The cable transmission makes the DA what it is. Keep it original!!!

 

yea i know but i just wanna make my bay cleaner... once i finish the b17 and get rid of the lsv.... i would love to get type-r gears in my ys-1 but just stick with my jdmb16 lsd hydro trans i have layin around

 

its not that much if u just buy the mount n the run your own lines

 

im still trying to find a good condition cable b16 transmission, what are your guys' reviews on the ys1 cable gsr transmission? Does it have any problems i should know about

 

You could always just route the clutch cable under the intake manifold. You won't be able to see it.

 

Do u plan on puttin it on the side of the front bumper? or rock it out the headlight?

 

Here's another pic of my DA:


Cheers, springninja

 

i love your DA6

 

ive got a y1 that needs a shca. lol, other than that its in good working order

 

what is an shca

 

yea i know but i have the lsv line there too soo there is to much stuff .. but the sk2 mani sits little high.

id rather go hydro

and the ys-1.gsr and the ls ys-1 idk i feel like they are the same to me

 

you cant feel any difference in the gearing? im pretty sure the gsr gears are shorter haha. If it doesnt make that much of a difference ill just try to find a b16 cable transmission

 

You must be on PCP.

The long geared YS1 is the longest B-series transmission you can get and the GS-R/RSi/XSi YS1 is near identical to a 96 spec ITR transmission. It's a night and day difference.

The day I got my car back with the XSi swap (w/ short geared YS1), I was in 5th gear cruising on the freeway and kept wanting to shift into what I thought should be 4th gear. 5th gear in a short YS1 feels like 3rd gear in a long YS1.

Oh, it's a big difference.

I wouldn't recommend getting a pre-YS1 B16A transmission. There is absolutely NO WAY to get new replacement parts for them. With a YS1 case (short or long), you can use gearsets from any other B-series transmission and find all of the replacement parts (gears, synchros, countershaft).

 

ok, cause someone is willing to sell me a complete b20 motor with a ys1 gsr transmission with a stage 1 clutch, he said if i pick up both he'll give it to me for $700, think imma jump on that offer then

 

Make sure the **** isn't stolen. That's one hell of a crazy deal.

Also, there is no way to verify that the YS1 is from a GS-R and short geared by just looking at it. Just FYI. You don't want dude stiffing you by selling you a long geared YS1.

 

yeah i understand, hes from the same city im from so i dont think it'll be to hard relocating him if that does happen. It was originally 500 for the motor and 300 for the tranny, which is about right, he lowered it 100 if i pick up both

 

$300 for a short geared GS-R YS1 isn't right. I would expect to pay double that.

Maybe the economy just sucks that bad.

 

i see them on craigslist from time to time for around 350-400, never seen them for more then 450. Its actually a jdm b20b so no way to tell if its stolen

 

shift holder change assembly

 

yeah i see them for that over here on the east coast too

 

yes sir i paid 350 for my gsr trans then sold ti with thecar
