are the gsr(b17) trannies any good..this will be going in my crx with a ls motor..what are the spec, would it be good for my type of motor, is there lsd?

 

This tranny is a YS1. It is the most coveted cable b-series tranny. Excellent gearing. LSD was an option in Japan only. Check out the ratios:

I love the gear ratio with the YS1. Its a great tranny. Get through the gears quick, but highway driving sucks. At 80mph the YS1 is around 5000rpm.

 

I'm not sure what YS1 you have, but my YS1 (usdm GSR) is a little under 4K when going 80mph.
My S1 used to be right at 5K going 80, and that's why I switched tranny's.

 

Another good thing about this tranny is if your syncro's go bad, all you have to do is get them from your Honda dealer. While if your syncros go bad on a JDM tranny, you have to get the syncros from JDM land.

 

The YS1 I have came right out of a 92 GSR along with the engine and everything else.

 

I've switched 4th and 5th from 95 GSR. Love it

hey, was the itr lsd a straight drop in or did you have to modify it? i have an usdm ys1(ls) and i'm going to change the fd ring gear, 3/4 gears from a ys1 gsr tranny and keep fith from the ls! it should be nice!

 

i have a 92 gsr cable Ys1 on my LS motor...... Every person i gave a ride had a hard beleaving it was a LS motor..... Short gearing improved the feeling and exceleration big time..........

 

how do you tell if the trans is jdm or usdm?i was looking at the gear ratio and the jdm ys1 ratio it pretty close to my s1. but the usdm ys1 is a bit off

I think u got a ls tranny 4k at 80 thats what my ls is at, watch out, many usdm ys1 are ls and there gearing is mad high. they suck and slow b16a down like whoa thats y i hate mine

 

ok the guy that selling it said it was a usdm tranny no lsd, no grinds about 40k on it. and hes asking $475

should i buy it for offer him less

 

bump

should i buy it?

 

An ITR LSD can be added but the inside of the case will have to be ground some for the conversion.

 

thats kina rip off

 

if truly a gsr (92/93) ys1 tranny that price is a steal if in good running order - any guaruntee?

try looking on the internet and see what junkyards around the us are charging - $1k is not unusual!!!!!!!!!

I know mine is from a GSR, because I test drove it before he took it out of his GSR. I'm confused now though...? Your LS is the same?

 

are guys tranny jdm or usdm??

 

Mine is a USDM YS1. I'm sure mine is from a US GSR. Your RPM will also vary depending on the size of tire you have. I'm running on 205/45/16.

 

I love the YS1 JDM tranny.

It should be 5000RPM at 80MPH.

thats the way to tell.

 

i believe YS1 is the same code used on the 2g teg LS trannies as well as the 2g teg GS-R trannies. Just make sure if you buy a YS1 that it is definitely from a 2g GS-R and not an LS.

 

Yes LS, RS and all the bullshit intergas had YS1 tranny along with the GSR 92-93 like YumVTEC said.

 

so how do you guys like the usdm ys1(gsr) tranny...i was looking at the chart http://www.allmotorhonda.com/t...s.htm how do you read this? does it mean the lower the # is the shorter the gearing is?

even using 205/45/16s which have an average overall diameter of 23.4" (only .6" bigger than stock), you should STILL be close to 3900rpm at 70mph in 5th with a stock 92-93 GSR YS1 tranny.

you either have a 92-93 LS trans OR your 5th gear was swapped for an LS 5th sometime in that tranny's past.

i am the owner of a 93 GSR YS1 trans myself and the stock 5th definitely has the rpm sitting at ~4000+ at 70mph.

 

Well i looked at it today on my way in to work. And something is definitely funny. My RPM is about 39XX while going 80. It's not quite at 4K, but almost there. But the gears don't feel that long. Maybe someone did switch the 5th gear for an LS. The guy that sold it to me didn't mention anything about doing this though. I am slightly slower in the 1/4 mile with this tranny. I ran a 15.1 with my S1 about 8 months ago, and this past weekend I ran a best of 15.5. I did make a few changes since the last time I raced though. I've gained about 20lbs, and I also installed the WW body kit with a new paint job. My car weighed in at 2378 with me in it. I'm guessing someone switched out the gear then.
