Anyone tackled the subject before? My syncro's are bad and wondered how hard it is to obtain parts for the jdm y-1. I heard that parts for these tranny's are not available at any dealerships. I already opened up the case and found the syncros are wasted and in put shaft bearing bad. Should i just chuck it or try to attempt to rebuild it?

Wow, you're right. The JDM Y1 parts are hard to find.

I checked, the only parts that are the same are the Reverse and Final Drive gear. 3.000 and 4.266 respectively). They're the same as the B18B1 (S80/Y80) tranny.

Good luck dude.
Just in case here are the ratios for the JDM Y1:
1. 3.166
2. 2.052
3. 1.416
4. 1.103
5. 0.870
Reverse 3.000
Final Drive 4.266

 

yup it sucks man!

 

just because the gear ratios are the same or similar DOES NOT mean that the gears will interchange. NO 92+ integra tranny can switch parts with a cable tranny as far as i know. i've already tried this myself with a JDM S1.

if your Y1 is dead, then get another tranny.

hth, J

 

i have a 92 teg. i'm pretty sure it's a cable.

i know what you were tryin to say, just wanna make sure newbies dont get confused. 92-93 tegs were still cable clutches, hydro didn't come out on the teg till the new gen in 94.

 

but 92-93 Teg trannys have larger shafts inside the tranny. Parts don't interchange.

 

Mista Bone is the man.

 

exactly.. thanks for clarifying for me Bone.

 

Thinking about getting a car with the same problem, if I can get new syncro's for the trans it's a y1 with the lsd in it. Had any luck finding out anything? Would like to know before I buy. Thanks

 

92-93 tegs were still cable clutches, hydro didn't come out on the teg till the new gen in 94.

So this means if I was to get a ys1 tranny for my 96 teg, I'd have to convert my hydro into cable?? How hard is that; and price?
Thanks.

 

TTT

 

Hasport makes a bracket that allows 94+ cars (hydro) to use cable trannies. Apparently not too hard and the kit+cable tranny is still a bit cheaper than buying another hydro tranny.

So how much does that kit from HAsport cost? (what's a good going price for it?)

 

How exactly do you tell when syncro's are bad just by looking at them? Thanks

 

Tell me which one looks bad

 

Oh I ceez, thanks Mista Bone!!!!!

 

Actually, here is another one that looks good as well and is $50 cheaper- http://www.crxguru.com/hydro_brac.htm

anyone have contact info for Honda of Japan? I would think you'd be able to write them and order synchros from them wouldn't you?
