so i broke the case of my b16 cable tranny today on the freeway, so i was wondering if i could buy an ls cable tranny and and use the case from that tranny on my b16 tranny?

 

Hydro or cable?

 

All b series cable are same.
All b series hydro are same

 

you can even use any hydro gears in a 92-93 (not 90-91) cable transmission housing

 

No they aren't.

 

On the casings.... not all are the same, but the ones you're likely to come acrossed will undoubtedly all be the interchangeable.

Gears are different though.

 

my b16 tranny is cable and im planning on buying ls tranny cable, so would it work?

 

Yes

 

alright thanks to everyone

 

how hard is it to switch cases

 

you have to make sure you have the right year transmission. if your b16 transmission is a 90-91 (S1 J1 A1) then you have to get another 90-91 transmission. if your transmission is a ys1 (92-93) then you can swap between any 92+ b series transmission. you cant put 90-91 guts in a 92+ or vise versa

 

ohh alright got it. and also i was wondering you guys think jb weld would work? like to seal the cracks?

 

It will still leak after a while. you will be better of switching cases

 

alright alright cause money is a problem right now but im sure i can find a case somewhere for a good price

 

My question is what caused the case to break to begin with?

 

it broke on the freeway i hit a bump and it all went bad from there

 

Im in the same boat... how hard is it to change cases

 

Im a manual trans expert, i dont understand how you can break the case by hitting a bump, unless your saying it hit the road and split it open, then that woud make sense.
Its really not a job for an average backyard wrench to change internals and cases on a trans, though hondas are fairly simple. just pay very close attention. If youve never been inside of a trans before.. good luck. I do alot on the side out of my garage, but cali is a little too far from ohio lol
PM me if you need any advice once you get that far with it.

 

A bad angle on a cv-axle will do it. Is your car lowered (slammed)?

 

I have an extra case... but the side that the passenger axle goes into. Is that what you need? Its from a 90 ls trans.

 

yeah thats what i need the last part the cone looking part. and yea well my car is pretty low.
