I bought a 2000 JDM ITR Tranny.

I'm doing the hydraulic tranny swap using the SONEM kit that I bought a few months ago.

So far I made a list of what I need to actually mount this tranny onto my B16A motor in my 91 hatch:
- Hydro tranny mount
- driverside tranny seal (for my current 90-93 integra axle)
- clutch/pp for DC
- slave cylinder for DC
- clutch m/c from EG/EK or DC
- clutch fluid reservoir, feed line, pressure line


There is one thing I am still unsure about:
-speed sensor cable still compatible with this tranny?

Am I missing anything else?

 

cable is still compatable.

why not just get a cable tranny case and swap everything over? so much easier and cost less

 

nice, thats what I thought.

Well, the whole point of this is to change my cable-actuated tranny to hydraulic. I just hate the feeling of cable clutch.

 

IMO the cable clutch gives you a better feel, ditto on the cost factor.

 

i have a b16 hydro s4 tranny in my rex...all i bought to make my tranny works was...hasport hydro tranny mount, hasport cable to hydro kit, and swap the vss to my cable one and thats it! WORK LIKE CHARM!...had this on for 4 months and works great

 

I'm putting the ITR trans in my EF too. My car is a gutted track car with no inst panel, so I don't have to worry about clearance issues. I am planning to fab a plate like the SONEM one but also weld braces to the steering hanger beam to prevent flex. I am also going to use the EK master, but put the reservoir inside. I don't know much about the SONEM kit, but do you need a different clutch pedal arm? To get the same ratio as the EK, I think I calculated the rod mount location needs to be lower with the EF pedal...I need to look at other models pedal dimensions to see if any would work - if not I'll modify mine. One last thing, I set my eng/trans in place - it is very tight fit to frame rails on both sides of car. Pretty sure the hydro trans is bigger than cable trans - might want to compare before the swap to make sure your current mounts have OK side to side placement. The ITR trans is superior to the cable - it's worth your effort...

The ITR transmission has almost the exact ratios as a YS1 GSR transmission. The only significant difference is the differential. With all the additional parts you would have to buy, it would cost about the same to put a differential in a cable case.
