nothing really

switch out the shift linkages and use the GSR linkage. But I think the Civic one will work.

Also to add, you can use the same clutch assembly, but swap the throwout bearings... or just put in a new one. You can reuse the same starter also. Basically the casings are the same for the most part so everything will plug/bolt right on over from the GSR to B16 tranny. The B16 tranny on a GSR motor feels great with better acceleration.

 

so i can use the same clutch i have ( its very new , about 3 months old) and i think my linkage is bent im not sure . . . so what do i need to buy if just my tranny is shot lets say ( accident cracked case and i want a b16 tranny) good clutch and all good flywheel too . .

 

also how hard is it to throw an ls 5th gear or gsr 5th gear in the b6 tranny ??? i wanna try in do it myself ( i have some time )
, thanks

Don't waist your time with a gsr 5th gear put an ls in there.

 

whoa...putting separate gears? how does that work

 

yeathat would be better (ls 5th). . . . but how to do that???

Don't waste your time with any longer gears. Longer gears are useless on our torqueless cars. Suck it up and deal with the 2-300 rpm higher you will be on the highway.

 

well im going supercharger runin 10 pounds about . . so im gonna have some torque by

 

the LS 5th gear requires the use of the LS 4.266 final drive, rather than the 4.4 fd in the b16 and b18c trannies... which kinda defeats the purpose of getting a b16 tranny. Well, imo, the best reason for getting the b16 tranny is the spacing of the 5 forward gears is almost perfect (and are the same as the ITR if you didn't know already)

 

yea , i wouldnt mind picking up a ITR tranny and was gonna , but i dont have the loot , so this B16 will be the cheap way of doing it , so i can take my 5th gear and put it in place of the B16 5th gear ?? does anyone know the ratios of the b16 and the speeds it willl be at ??

and does anyone have info on how to take out a tranny and or take apart one . . . thanks jay

Dude, if you don't know how to take apart or take out a tranny, I wouldnt be changing gears if I were you. Keep the b16 5th. If you really want to put a longer gear in, PM me. I can install the gear for you.
