Default difference between b16 and GSR trans

i was jus wondering about the differences between the JDM '95 b16 n JDM '95 GSR trans, both w/ stock LSD. I know the GSR has slightly longer gears, any other differences?? Is there any reason y i shouldnt use a GSR tranny on a b16sirII??

You need shorter gears to make up for no torque.

The GSR tranny has a stronger differential and *slightly* taller gears, but same final ratio.

i figured the GSR was stronger n i know the gearing is a little longer, but will that really make my car that much slower... according to the chart<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by komat &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/temp/Bgears.htm</TD></TR></TABLE>

d16 is 127hp, the b16 is 170, the small difference in gear ratio will cause my b16 to feel like it has less than 130 hp, cause ur sayin<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 93ejay1 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i have a z6 and ive beat an si and sol and both have b16s</TD></TR></TABLE>

I have a gsr tranny on my b16 and there is a noticeable difference. It is in a ek coupe which is heavy. It is quite a bit slower especially the 1 to 2 shift and the 2 to 3 shift. It also takes a lot longer to accelerate if you are low in the powerband (4000) due to the lack of torque.

No, the ITR gearing (for USDM) is identical to the B16 trans---the difference is the synchros and diff.

The JDM ITR gearing is the same for gears 1, 2 and 3---but the final drive is shorter, making it the best all motor tranny.

Good choice. Alot of Honda people like to make alot out of nothing. You won't notice a difference and you will be getting a stronger trans, which is more important anyway. Besides, you can always upgrade your final drive to 4.785.
