Will the Si tranny put too much stress on the LS motor since the gear ratios are so much shorter?

 

Halo with the SI tranny you would be looking at much higher rev's on the Highway but with the shorter gears it would make your car accelerate easier. Try using an LS 5th gear and SI 1st through 4th

 

There is a dewd in Reno, who wants to trade me my tranny for his Si tranny. Since it's like an 8 hr drive back all on the highway I don't want the new Si tranny blowing my motor. I have heard at 75 mph this tranny will put me at 4500 hundred RPM can the LS sustain for 8 hrs at this rpm range?

anyone

 

Well I think it could. If it couldnt then honda would have put the redline lower. It should be fine. I would do it Halo

 

At 70 MPH with a B16 tranny your RPMs will be at around 3900..so 75 MPH should be around 4100...I dont think it will be a problem.

 

Hey thanks slowerthanu and Hx_Guy Dumb question but......Are all 1994-00 B series clutches interchangeable? i.e- B16,B18C,C5,B18b. Can I use my LS clutch with the Si tranny and vis a versa? Thanks

Yep...clutch will be ok.

 

ya you can but why dont you put a 97+ ITR clutch kit while you have the thing apart. it hold about 10% more power than the LS/GS-R clutch.

 

There is a guy selling his 00 ITR stock clutch here locally for $100, should I go for it?

 

used?? ummm........i dont know.........the friction disc is pretty cheap from the dealer so if you spend another couple hundred dollars you can get the disc, pressure plate and relese bearing new.........or if you want somthing that holds more power you can go for a exedy or ACT clutch.......

 

Any ideas what A&H is selling there complete ITR clutch set-up for? I use to have an Exedy clutch on my LS and I ended up selling it like the tard I am BTW-Thanks for the help non-vtec

 

well i dont know what A&H is selling the clutch for but i paid about 350-400 canadain dollars for mine at the dealer.........i'm sure you can get it for less in US dollars......
