I just got a type-r lsd to put into my 1995 jdm b16a2 tranny. I heard that the bolt pattern for the final drive gear on the lsd is different than the 4.40 gear's bolt pattern that came in the b16a2 tranny...is this true?

 

You'll need to use a the larger diameter GSR/ITR ring gear.

 

Will the larger diameter ring gear work with pinion gear on the b16 shaft?

 

The type-r lsd has angular bearings on it and i'm wondering if my 95 jdm b16 case will work with those. Thanks for the info!

 

bearings don't matter, you can change to either style.

B16 uses the smaller diameter ring gear...GSR/ITR/CTR use the larger diameter

 

Hey what's up?! Nice NorthWest avatar, do you ride Stevens pass? So tell me if i got this right, if I buy a 4.40 itr ring gear it will work with the counter shaft pinion gear in my b16 tranny?

 

yes

 

i have a 98 spec R LSD in my b16 tranny.

to be safe let's say you're gonna keep the 4.400 final drive.

To make it work inside your B16 casing. you'll need to change the GSR/ITR angle rolling bearing to the LS/b16 ball bearing.

If you have a USDM type R lsd, then it's already 4.400 final drive. It'll work with your B16 countershaft, cuz it's also 4.400 final drive. But if you have a JDM spec R LSD with a 4.785, then you'll have to swap that for a USDM GSR/ITR final ring gear to make it 4.400.

I never swap my JDM speed gear out. So i guess your should work too.
Mine was pretty easy to install, good luck with yours.

 

Good info thanks alot!
