ok guys ive got a b18b swap in my eg hatch, and i came across a 00 si tranny with a busted case. Ive done a lot of messing around with the d-series trannys, but im new to tearing into a b-series trans. Can i just put both gearsets, shift forks, and diff. into my ls casing? i picked up the busted b16 trans for 80 bucks and im hoping to be able to use it in mine, also, how difficult is it to open up a b-series tranny and switch the gearsets around? Also what else should i replace while im in there, seals, bearings, etc? thanks for the help

 

i would replace all bearing and seals while your in there
i dont think it is harder to tear apart than the D series
the gears im pretty sure can be swapped around but not sure about the shift forks

 

thanks, i was hoping not to have to tear apart the shafts tho, i was wanting to just pull out one whole set of gears and forks and swap 'em, i dont want totear into my working ls tranny and chance ruining it either tho, someone with some serious tranny knowledge care to chime in?

 

bump

 

what ever gear you swap out must be done on both the main shaft and counter shaft

 

im wanting to pull out the main and countershaft from the b16 tranny and put them in my ls case, is that possible????? and will the diff out of the b16 fit in the ls case?
