I have searched on hear and google. really didnt get a solid answer. I have a b18 in my garage that i plan to drop into my car. So what is the benefit of going with gsr over ls transmission

 

i believe they both share the same 1st and 2nd gear but on the gsr 3/4/5 and final are shorter. the ls ratios after 2nd gear are all longer then the gsr

someone with more knowledge can chime in

 

so longer meaning that on the freeway it will run lower RPM? besicly im useing the car for DD not racing nothing like that. RIght now its a d15 auto and im going b18 manual because the gutless car is driving me nutz

correct you would want the LS one

 

OR, GSR tranny with a LS 5th gear.

 

the reason i was asking i found a used gsr for 350 on craigslist and a used ls for 250 on craigslist

 

gsr have LSD or is that just an extra?

 

The LSD is kind of an extra thing. If u ever want to see if it is LSD though, look through the differential hole and see if the pin is in there, if it is it isn't LSD if it isn't then it is..

 

cool thanks for the help everyone

 

or you could scrap all these trannys and do a true type r tranny. i have one forsale, expensive tho

 

no thanks

btw i was just in west chester for 2 weeks with work, just flew home monday
