Maybe this is already on here and I just couldn't find it but I have a B16A2 swap that I'm going to put in my 90 civic hatch and I was wondering if I could use a Y1 B16 tranny becuase it is cable and I've heard it's hella hard to do a hydro tranny conversion.

 

yes

hasport makes a kit for hydro to cable. direct bolt on

 

You'd be better off buying the Hasport mount kit with the easy bolt-on clutch conversion kit and using the S4C transmission than you would be using a crappy Y1.

 

ya but isn't the kit like $400? I already have the hasport motor mounts so i don't want another set. I have no clue how to do it so if someone wants to explain it step by step for me or give me a link to someone else who already has that'd be great but otherwise i'll prolly just get a Y1 lsd tranny

 

I guarantee that Y1 tranny will grind. These are 18 year old transmissions and most are [freak]ed. Go hydro now and save yourself the headache of trying to find gears and synchro sets for that transmission.

Or find a YS1 which is a cable case with Hydro internals. Best of both worlds.

you just bolt the hasport kit to the hydro tranny using the directions that come with the kit. then the cable hooks up just like it did on your cable tranny. you can get this seprately without buying more mounts.

 

Y1 tranny's are notorious for grindind, lsd or not, i would not waste your time with it.
I run a 1992 cable YS1 with oem lsd...its far superior to a Y1. They use the large spline mainshaft with the newer internals like other integra gearboxes found right up to 2001 models. Also, the Ys1 has almost identical ratios to the ITR.

There are multiple transmissions labeled "YS1." There are both short- and long-geared versions out there. You can't just look for a YS1, otherwise you might end up with a crappy LS trans.

Um, no . . .

The entire thing consists of the four billet bits you see there. That's it.

True, i should have mentionmed that.

All jdm models that had the lsd option were the short geared version though, so thats the easy one to identify.

Here in north america, the short geared versiom was only found in 92-93 integra gsr models, and lsd was nver an option. This is the much harder one to identify as all other models of integra from the saem two years were also stamped ys1, yet the had the much higher gearing, and don't give the same snappy acceleration.

North Americana short geared gsr cable tranny's are much more rare. They were about 1 model per 15 of every other out there.

I have two of these gearboxes myself. One jdm lsd, and the other from a Canadian model which i bought back in the year 2000 and haven't used yet. I was lucky to find it hidden at a wreaker in a smaller town where it had been sitting in storage on the shelf for 7 years at that point, not get used. zit has only 5,000 miles "original" on it. I believe it to be the lowest mileage ys1 of its kind out of all in canada/usa
