i got a 94 hatch with a b18b1 my tranny grinds in third so i wanna know what other trannys are compatable with my engine that would be better than the stock lsd that i have someone told me that theres a 6 speed that can fit is this true also if i get a different tranny will i need different shafts or shift linkage

 

im pretty sure you dont have lsd, acura didnt put a lsd in any ls tranny. any b series tranny will fit your motor and you wont have to change anything such as axles or the linkage. depending on how you drive you need to figure out which tranny you want. if you do a lot of hwy driving then stay away from the b16/itr tranny and get either a gsr or ls tranny.

note- there is no 6 speed tranny that will bolt to a b series motor so go and slap that person who told you that because they are wrong.

 

Any B16/B18 5-speed trans. will work.
No the B18B1 didn't come with an LSD trans.
No 6-speed will bolt up to a B-series.

B16.

 

I'd just like to further clarify this by saying make sure you get a hydro tranny, the older cable trannys will bolt up to your engine but you'll have to get a set of aftermarket mounts and a hydro to cable conversion kit.

 

Get a gsr or b16 hydro tranny. Shorter gearing and will haul *** with that ls motor you have!

 

thank you for the responces i think ill go with the gsr

 

do not get a b16 tranny if you drive on the freeway like stated. waaayyy too short for the everyday cruising at 70-100. IMO. i like my GSR tranny, it felt like a big performance upgrade from my haggard *** LS... LS trannys are a bit long... and yeah, that friend of yours is quite wrong... there is no 6-speed b series tranny

 

Gsr was a great transmission for my car when I had a B18B1 in it. You will not be disappointed with the GSR tranny.

 

yea i love my b18b/gsr trans set up in my car, go with an agressive clutch and flywheel and it will be quick

 

I also agree with going with a gsr, youll get the some what sort gears like a b16, but rpms will be lower on the high way.

Or if you have some money to spend, try find a type r transmission. Then youll have factoy lsd.

 

idk at 70mph my 5th is at 3500rpm, that's why i drive a little slower on the highways but in town it's great

 

My dx is over 1000 rpm lower lol, but back to the thread. That still is pretty high, the gsr is a great tranny just for that. Great around town, and not terrible on the highway.
