I recently blew up my b16 trans. I have a quaife lsd in it and was wondering if there was any sneaky way to use this in the gsr tranny i just bought. Id rather not have to buy a whole new LSD. Let me know.

 

You'll need B16 diff bearings, ring gear and its matching countershaft. Provided all of these are still good from the B16 trans.

 

And a diff shim.

 

i just put both the counter shaft and input shaft from the gsr in my b16 case with my b16 quaife and everything seems to be fine. You sure you have to use the B16 counter shaft?

 

No. They're the same. But mixing and matching used gears is not good. Gear set...

 

Like Aquafina says, it's not the best to mix and match. Most of our transmissions (D, B, and H-series) have 60,000+ miles on them. Over time, gears wear into each other despite a thin layer of fluid typically coating them. Mix and match these wear patterns, and sometimes things don't always work so well.

 

Just drove the car with no problems at all. I'm using my b16 case, b16 ring gear on the quaife, Gsr counter shaft and main shaft with Gsr gears. Shifts like butter couldn't be happier!

 

in for the report of tooth failure.

Might look something like this......



....or you might get lucky.

 

^ what do you mean by that? Is something going to break?

 

Probably.

 

Could you explain a little more please

 

Gear set. Gears wear with each other. In the case of a FD, its the ring gear and countershaft. Mix and match used gears and they will likely fail. Either like in the pic Bone posted or by shearing teeth.

 

I gotcha so they reason people say to switch the counter shaft was only
because it has mated with the ring gear. So the b16 counter shaft is
identical to the Gsr

 

Double yes.

 

Well well see how it works out. Both ring gears and both counter shafts looked mint with no pitting whatsoever

 

That doesn't matter. If there was pitting then that means its already failed and shouldn't be reused even with the matching gear.

 

Well the car will be on 24.5in slicks launched at 8k so well see what happens

 

Definitely not a good idea. Torque and high shock loads only stress the problem more.

 

Better make sure the trans fluid has EP additives... and lots of 'em.

 

If it breaks it breaks, I didn't build the car to drive it easy

 

Then you definitely shouldn't have mixed and matched.

Whats that saying about doing it right the first time?

 

gears holding up strong here. another 10 second pass after this and an 11.0 pass before it with crappy spark plugs.

i wouldn't expect an instant failure of any kind. or a matter of months. but the odds are something will go earlier than if it was all original.


and nice power :thumbsup:
