I have never heard of it but some kid is trying to tell me that there is a JDM variant.

So did they actually make an automatic GS-R in Japan???

thanks!

 

yes, there were automatic GSR's in Japan

 

wow ... you learn something new every day!


what years out of curiosity?

 

I believe it was an option on all 3rd gen GSR's

 

cool beans! can anyone else confirm this?

no auto on the gs-r in the states. not even an option.

 

I don't know about the years, but there was an automatic GS-R in Japan. Seems kind of weird to me. *shrug*

I just meant for keeping the motor in the powerband. Auto's almost always shift prematurely.

 

not to mention you lose a gear so you can't have the close ratios that are a must on a VTEC motor.

Yeah it suck to have automatic.

 

I too have heard of automatic gs-r in Japan but have never been able to confirmed this. However, I know for a fact that their is NO automatic gsr here in the states.

 

I heard there was automatic JDM gsrs too.

Who cares? The civic d- series vtec has an optional auto.

 

and so do VTEC ludes, my point is that auto trannies BLOW. Example: my friends Prelude with the "Sport Shift" auto drops VTEC when shifting first to second, and it's fuel cut is lower. People that do 5 speed swaps gain over a second in the 1/4 mile.

 

Look here.

Yes. there were A/T JDM GS-R's. And there were was a AWD teg in japan, too. And maybe, just maybe you could get the A/T GSR's as 4 doors too. I'll have to check my JDM books and brochures.
This topic reminded me of a ?. Why are JDM honda brochures written in english? Not 100% in english but a good portion? (just a rhetorical ?, really. lol)

I will confirm the existence of an auto trans on Vtec. My Japanese engine came with a flex plate instead of a flywheel. It seems to me the motor would be in better shape driven by an auto trans driver. It's probably the same as an LS auto trans, maybe the shift points are just set differently.

Yes, they did. I've had 2 auto P72 ECUs before (couldn't chip them either) and we had an auto GSR swap come through on a container before.... I think we still have the auto GSR tranny laying around, along with a B16 auto tranny from a 95 swap .

 

i though i saw a usdm gs-r 4 door in a automatic, i could be wrong though

Could have been an SE/GS unless you looked at the motor.

My guess is that the JDM GS-R auto tranny is just an LS auto tranny.

 

Believe it or not, i have actually seen a usdm GSR with auto tranny. Ive seen the sticker and it costs a grip add the option. I will have to get pics asap and post. The chick works with me.
