ok i bought a car with an ls/vtec swap and i dont know which tranny it has. I was wondering tho, i was doing like 70 at 3000 rpms in 5th gear? what tranny do u think that would be(im thinkin ls)? and whats some stock tranny's u guys have and what speed/rpm r u at?

 

well mate I've got a GSR tranny on my LS motor and 5th gear 70 mph is at least 4k. I had an LS tranny a while ago but I don't remember what it's 5th gear rpm was at. Smells like an LS tranny though. You can tell cuz those gears are mad long compared to a b16 or GSR tranny.

 

sounds like a non vtec tranny

LS tranny

 

Ahh thats what i thought.. its wierd tho all the gears before 5th tho dont seem long. but i guess its gotta be an ls. I dont mind the gears they dont seem that bad but i would really wanna try a b16 or gsr tranny. thanks guys

vtec tranny with ls 5th, maybe?

 

maybe cuz when im goin thru town at around 30 mph i like to be in 4th. maybe it just has a different final drive. and in the bell housing(dont know if this matters) but there was like a 6 or a 9 and SI. Like 6SI or 9SI i cant remember in blue color??

 

there's no vin???? you can check by that. or do the 80 mph test

go into 5th gear on the free way and stay about 80 mph you should see where you are at on the power band. and usually that will tell what final drive that's inside.

i.e. a b16 trans w/ 4.4 fd means when your in 5th gear at 80 rpm should be around 4,400 rpms.

what happened to 65...oh ya, no one drives that slow in s.cali.

 

um.. the vin is Y80 but it kind of looks like the sticker was just stuck on there/maybe not. but yea its prolly a ls if the y80 is true. or maybe the kid that i bought it from just kept the ls final drive or put an ls final drive in a gsr so it wouldnt be bad on the freeway? lol dunno but prolly an ls

 

my b16 trans is at 4000 at 70....my gsr was at 4000 at 80.

 

ls tranny
