b20/vtec whats the best tranny for all motor. Need answer quick, thanks

HybriDNA

YS1 Cable tranny i would say.

Newman

Good luck finding one... they're rare and when you do find one, people want a grip for it.

TREVER

I scored one for fifty bucks. The guy said it grinded. I put it in with some Honda fluid and it never grinded. But I'd expect to pay 450, 650 if it has the lsd

TRAY

S1 if you dont plan on driving on the freeway much....

wickedxboi

s1,y1 or ys1 for all motor. ys1 would be the best choice

SuperCivic

i run a Y1 w/ LSD and it rocks.

Trey

I agree, Y1 with the LSD is your best option. It has taller gearing like the GSR and will work well with the torque from the B20. Keep in mind not all Y1s come with an LSD so make sure you ask for one with the LSD. I paid $100 more but it was well worth it.

all i have to say is 93 gsr tranny on the interstate doin 70 (speed limit) SUCKS!!!
70 mph = 4000 rpms
it is awesome in town though

giooooo

im doing my ls/vtec in my crx and my 93 integra boyy does it suck to run two ls trannys in both ls/vtec cars... i cant seem to find a good b16 trans around, usualyl when people seel some calbe b16 trans they usually say no grinds but i dont really trust anyone nowwadays.. so how will ls/vtec run with a ls trans . i guess sucks

Jeff C

why not buy one cheap and rebuild it?
thats what i did
payed $100 for 93 gsr tran and put all new synchros into it. works great!!
i wont tell you how much it cost me to rebuild it though.

giooooo

i cant find a ys1 92093 integra gsr trans, all i know taht the 3rd gear syncro gear set is 275 and some change but you rebuilt the whole tranny? if i do buyany jdm b16 tranny i doubt the dealer will have these parts.. anyone here runs an ls/vtec or vtec motor with an ls trans?? tell me how it responds with vtec

Jeff C

you are right about finding one, i have been looking since february. i rebulit 80% of it and that price is about right, i paid a little less, but yes it was more than i thought it would be.
i have seen jdm synchro sets somewhere on here before.
the usdm gears will be different but the synchros should be the same, i would think.

giooooo

how much you got yours us ys1 maybe i should just buy all the internals of a ys1 like 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th and keep the ls 5th? hmm? but i heard that the 3rd gear is the most expensive..? i dunno y0.. anyone have a chart of b16 trannys compared to the ls trannys? i think the ls tranny 1st gear is the same as the b16.. i dunno..

Jeff C

i think that would be more trouble and money than it is worth.
here is a tranny comparison chart...

have you tried posting "WTB: b16 cable tranny" kinda post?
also, there is a couple on the parts trader on the east coast too. search for "cable" in "Honda/Acura: Engine and Drivetrain"

also, email Chuck Evans at evanshonda@earthlink.net or http://www.evanshondaspecialist.com/

giooooo

sometimes i dont trust anyone on the parts trader or even online... thanks for the links

Jeff C

i understand. i got screwed through the parts trader once that is why i made a 960 mile round trip to pick up my tranny.
i guarantee Evans. they are an established company and are very trustworthy. that is where i get almost all of my honda stuff. they are about 15 minutes fro my house.

good luck with the search.

RenoRacing

i have a y1 w/ lsd and it's great, 100 on the freeway is about 6k rpm, not to shabby. i love it, it hooks great and i know it's the reason i've won several races, it's the perfect setup.

although, i drove my friends b20 with built ls head and ls tranny and i cant imagine driving it with a y1 cause w/ his aluminum flywheel it revs up so fast y1 gears would be almost too short. especially when he let me race a firebird in it squeezing his 80 shot, it will rev from 3k to 7.5k in about a second, it's crazy.

allmotor=y1
nos, turbo=ls
