first off is that info correct? second, im researching to start gettin my tranny idea together for this summer. im not too too up on my tranny info so if this wont work yell at me. i dont want to straight up bolt a type r or b16 tranny becuase i do a lot of highway driving so i dont want the less mpg or higher reving on the highway. however, i like how the type r and b16's have a closer gear ratio for the first few gears(for the track). heres what i was thinking. i was goin to use the 1st gear from the gsr or the b16(since according to my info they are all the same) and then use the 2nd and 3rd from a b16, but then keep the 4rth, 5th, and final drive from a gsr. too much work for nothing or does it sound ok? or should i change the ratio for 4rth gear as well? either way, my tranny is gonna need rebuilt so i figure while im at it, change a couple things. also, what would be easier, buying a gsr tranny and changin stuff out or buyin a b16 tranny and adding the gsr parts to it?

 

perfect tranny for highway and race.. would be a b16 1st and 2nd.. GSR 3rd and 4th.. and an ls 5th for freeway driving.

 

so the b16 3rd isnt a big deal?

 

i have a b16 tranny.. and my girl drives a gsr. my gears seem way shorter than hers.. and her 2nd sucks ***..

 

is yours all b16?

 

yea.. i was gonna rebuild mine and do the same thing i told you.. but i didnt feel like messing with it.. so i just boughtme a gsr tranny.. better freeway driving.. i dont like driving at 5k(80 mph) all the way down to San Diego..

 

the type r rations you listed are only for the 98+ JDM Type R tranny. The USDM R's have the B16 ratios with LSD.

 

ah didnt know that
