My CRX has a '92 B18A with an LS (YS1?) tranny. What do you guys think would be the best tranny for running the 1/4 mile? Y1?

 

JDM S1/J1...has close gears and it has a different final drive than the Y1.

 

i'd say the ys1 from the 92-93 gsr
the gear ratios are alot closer than the ys1`s off the ls motors
i believe that tranny is as close as u can get with a type r tranny that is cable

 

UNLESS you want to put some low numbers on your slips, (running high hp like turbo or blower) then you need a little longer gears, so in that case i would suggest sticking with the ls.

 

YS1 has my vote.. Close gearing ratio. Just like a typeR tranny but cable.

 

I have the YS1 tranny. The only prob I have is that the main bearings may be shot. It makes a loud whining noise while i drive.

 

you also have a Bee One Seven that comes with that tranny

 

Damn, I should have put it up to a vote. I think I got one post for each tranny. Anyone know of a good place to get any of the ones mentioned? Salvage yard or do some JDM motor suppliers sell trannys too? In CA of course.

Thanks for the responses.

 

92-93 GSR trannies are $$$. $750+

i have a quaife for a 92-93 GSR tranny... for sale... but not the tranny itself. i have a J1. i need to do the swap so i have no input for you there.

 

how much you askin for the Quaife?

 

Use B16A/B17A transmissions on a B18A/B18B/B20 ONLY if you don't plan to use the car alot on the freeway. Because the extended high revs WILL shorten the life of the motor.

 

I think highway driving is more beneficial for the engine than stop-and-go city driving.

 

Not at 4800-5000rpm it isn't.

 

Isn't there a difference between the jdm ys1 and usdm ys1? I got the impression that the jdm ys1 had gearing similar to the type r, only with out the 4:78 final drive.
