Default Tranny Suggestion

Okay, so i have a 93 Del sol Si that I'm going to drop a 95 b18b into, obd1. All i need right now is a tranny. I was going to go JDM b16 cable tranny, but then i hear that driving freeway is a real pain in the *** with that tranny. (about 5000rpm, in 5th gear, while going 50-60mph) Then i'm told that cable trannys wouldn't fit into my car. (?)

So my actual question is, what kind of tranny should/can i go with? cable or hydrualic?

cable tranny will fit and there isnt a benefit to a hydro so stick with that cable tranny and get a b16 lsd... all gears for good honda transmissions are really close so suck it up for highway driving... my itr did the same thing on the interstate but that just keeps it in its power range for toasting d series jokers....

try to find a hydro tranny since your car is already set up for hydro. it will make it that much easier. and about the 5000rpm in 5th at 50-60mph, mine isn't like that. i don't think i'm at 4000rpm till about 80mph.

i have the JDM B16 tranny. your rpm's in relation to your mph will also be affected by your tire size.

Get a GSR tranny because the gear ratio is alittle shorter than the LS tranny, but it's not as short as the B16 tranny. Unless you got the dough for the ITR tranny.
