Ok i drive a 93 hatch w/ lsvtec swap w/ a ls tranny. The other day i went for a drive and i go to shift from second to third and no go. The tranny felt like i was hitting a plate. The shifter rotates in the boot. It feels like its going in to 2nd but the you can move the shifter around in a circle. I checked the fluid level, it's good. Then i got under it and checked the shift linkage, and that was fine. My car is imobile and i really need to get going. I think the shift forks inside are gone or the hubs. Can someone give me their opinion please. Thanks in advance!!!!

 

perfect time for a b16 tranny

 

Yeah like someone already stated,time to get rid of that hunk a junk and get a quicker tranny.

 

cant im boosted

 

boost is more of a reason to get a better tranny

 

that shouldnt make a difference. thats like saying "i cant go to work because my grass is brown".

^^ Classic

 

Can you get into any other gears? Sounds like your synchro took a ****. Happened on my car, 5th gear of all the gears.

 

Lol with my turbo First and Second gear are useless on the street because of no traction. With a b16 tranny 3rd would probably be useless too lmao.

You probably need another LS tranny

Common mistake is that because gears are longer with the ls tranny that it will be better for boost. When in fact the gsr tranny even with shorter gears is much quicker. I have a gsr tranny with boost..

 

uhh your trans is probably fine. Check your shift linkage pin. The pin is underneath a boot, so you cant see if it fell out. I've had a pin fall out once. Vurry annoying, but an easy, sleazy fix. Also, check the bushings in the linkage, and not just the linkage itself. I mean it could be a broken transmission, but make sure you go over everything first.

I understand what your saying, all im saying is that with shorter gears I would probably loose traction in 3rd. If i was at teh track with some slicks, GSR tranny would be awesome, but for the street, i dont feel a big need for it. Just my opinion.

"Yeah,its nice. But low gears are kind of annoying to tell you the truth. Spinning But freeway speed is nice. I rarely drive it hard but i cant wait for the strip to open up this spring" lol that was you.. Another mistake people do is use SSautocrome manifolds lmfao jk jk

Yeah,it does spin 1st and 2nd,but 3rd is nice.
Oh and dont worry its braced It will never fail me.

 

except when your 5th gear pwns nick

 

thanks everyone for theadvice, via it be good or bad. I will be picking up a gsr tranny tomorrow afternoon.

 

good pick but if you going to be doing alot of highway driving i would maybe think about putting a ls 5th gear in. but if your not dont worry about it..

 

Yes ls 5th gear would be ideal. I have that also
