Default 97' LS MOTOR!!!! Do I use, GS-R, SI, LS , TRANNY?!?! WHICH ONE!

Ok well maybe I don't have enough money for a Type-R tranny, but other than that which one should I use?

I got a JDM YS1 Tranny on my car right now, which is a cable tranny for a 92' engine which is also cable....

I am puttin in my 1997 LS motor in my car soon, but I want a different tranny cause my JDM is grindin in 3rd, So my question is :

I have around $400.00 to spend, I need a HYDRO tranny......Even a freakin LS would be fine, but I need to know which one to get....and which ones years, etc would work....thanks all....peace

an ls tranny will not work as well as a gsr or b16. you will be well under 275 hsp to the wheels.

OK i think imma go for the B16, they are relatively Cheap as well...

ONE MORE THING!

My Motor is Hydraulic Tranny, what If I use a CABLE tranny? Will I have to change anything? Im more use to CABLE Trannys and they are a lot MORE INEXPENSIVE

right now i've got a ls. i don't like it. with my raised rev limit i have actually been through the traps still in 3rd gear. (my turbo doesn't make power that high though, i was just ****** around). i will be running a hybrid tranny next year. i know some guys that run around 250-270 to the wheel. one is probably closer to 250 and runs an itr tranny. the other is 270 ish and runs a b16. these guys are running slicks and rev to 8200 rpms. imo, for an ls (only 125 to the wheels), 7800 rpm's if you dare, and lets say a 100 shot, street tires(depends on diameter) a gsr tranny or b16 would run good.

just my experience/opinion.
