I have been here thinking of how to put a ls tranny to good use. I was wondering about the final drive. It is a low 4.2xx but vtec tranny's usually have a 4.400. Well, what about but a type r 4.7xx final drive in a ls tranny. It would be higher than a gsr but longer than a type r. I have never heard of this being done? You can pick up ls tranny's very cheap and throw in a quaife while your at it. The main reason i wonder this is because a have a cable tranny car. As you guys know it is very difficult to find a gsr ys1 vtranny unless you want to ghet butt raped. But.... ls 92-93 trannys are only a couple hundred dollars and are large like newer hydro trannys. soooo you see why i wonder about the type r final drive. thanks

 

if you change the final drive i would advise you to change 3,4 too

 

Wouldn't 3rd,4th with this setup would still be shorter than GSR gears. Has anyone ever tried this setup?

Out of curiousity, why would you advise that?

i ment 3,4 out of a itr or b16, why? cause they are shorter and help a b18b lots....

 

Gotcha... I thought that you were saying to change 3 and 4 for some sort of mechanical reason. Makes sense.
