Im seriously thinking about hybriding my 1995 USDM GSR trans.

Im thinking of using:
JDM 4.785 Final Drive
OEM Honda TYPE-R LSD
LS 5th gear set

With that combo. It will make all my gears (minus 5th and 2nd [1.27MPH longer]) slighty shorter than USDM B16/USDM ITR Gear ratios, which is great because it will somewhat cover the weight disadvantage of my Integra.

Questions:
Would an LS 5th gear swap work with the GSR trans?

yeah i saw taht thread. However, i was wondering if its compatable with a GSR trans, not a B16.

Would I need to change both gears or only 1?

 

You have to change the mainshaft and countershaft fifth gears. B-series hydro and cable parts are interchangeable if you use the right combination of parts.

 

ok, so i have to get the mainshaft and transfer all my other gears and aprts over to taht one. (Im assuming the gear and shaft are all one piece then...?)

ill be sticking with hydro parts.

right combination usually doesn't include 90-91 cable transmission parts. 92-93 are the most hydro compatible

 

hmm.. well after pricing out a brand new LSD 4.85 and a slightly used LSD. Ive come to the conclusion that I would be better off buying an ITR trans.

Any idea on where people buy brand new ITR transmissions? Im looking to spend 1,000 dollars
