I am going 2 have 2 rebuild my tranny sometime since my syncros r bad in 3rd and 5th, so which should i do, rebuild my GSR tranny or buy a new/used SI tranny, i am meaning money for both rebuilding or the SI, not performance cuz i heard the SI is better, but which one would u do for the money??? and if n e one has a SI tranny for sale please tell me...TIA

 

Any plans for a turbo? Stick with the GS-R if yes. Otherwise I'd go for an Si.

 

SI all the way! my buddy did this on his gsr and the difference was amazing! need i remind you that the SI tranny has the same gear ratios as an ITR (minus LSD)?

I agree,
GSR for a possible FI application
Si for a n/a application

 

Maybe your tranny is bad cuz you "drive it like you stole it"

 

maybe, but y would u have a GSR and not hit vtec, if u have a GSR and u dont hit vtec on a daily bases u shouldnt have it, im not complaining, im asking a question...

would n e one have n e idea how much a SI tranny would cost if i got it from a dealer???

 

\

too much

 

money is not a factor, im wanting 2 know a range or guess on how much it would cost if n e H-T members work for honda or would know a price range for the SI tranny?? TIA...

 

To buy new from the dealer your looking in $1,200-1,400. Used the going price seems to be in the $700 neighborhood

 

Do the dealers sell used trannys?? cuz i wouldnt wanna buy one from a complete stranger, cuz i would have no idea what condition its in, ya know?

 

ha, wouldnt that be nice. dealership employees' discount price is $1600.

 

That would be a nice price for the Honda Si tranny...I might hit up the local Honda dealership this weekend and see what they quote. Went to the dealer last weekend to pickup my rings and asked what the prices would be for a GSR transmission...it was $2400 for a G3 and the G2 cable one was $2500.....ouch.

damn, would it just be better 2 just refurmish(sp?) my GSR tranny???

 

I was also quoted 2300+ for a GSR transmission from the dealer.

 

if it's cheaper to rebuild your GSR tranny, wouldn't it be easier to swap in a B16A 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear?

 

does anybody have any 1/4 mile times between a gsr w/gsr tranny and a gsr w/si tranny?

 

well now when i shift at 7600 from 2nd and put it in third it stopped grinding, but now when i shift at 7600 from 3rd to 4th it grinds, could this still be the syncros?? if so why would it stop in the gear it started in?? some people say it might be my master clutch cylinder or somethin like that, can someone please help me.. TIA...

 

You can pick up a new ITR tranny for $2400, nice!

 

where...

 

i'm in a similar predicament, i definatedly want the si tranny for the gearing except it sucks for highway driving compared to the gsr, youre right about not knowing the condition of it but if you get a 99 or 00 you know it cant be that bad. One thing that you can consider if youre going to rebuild you gsr, is throwing in a final drive

 

i hear the Si tranny is weaker than the B18 tranny's...
i forget which part...
i'd get a JDM or USDM type r tranny...
LSD + lighter flywheel =

 

Can n e one help me about my last question on my it quit grinding when i shift from 2nd 2 third, now it does it from 3rd to 4th....
