ok, i basically have a stock b18c5 engine in my gsr, and am lookin into redoing the transmission this winter...i have a salvage yard out here that has a usdm itr final drive and countershaft available...i talked the guy down to 125.00....but dont i need the first gear also...will this final drive work in my gsr tranny and will the difference be noticeable?

next option

just save up and spring for a new jdm fd or ats fd

which would be the most worth it for the price?

 

the usdm ITR / GSR final drives are the same. Nothign will change. The first gears are the same too i believe (someone back me up on that)

Basically, you'd have the same ratios. Save up for the jdm fd.

correct. both trannies have a 4.40 final.

 

hey fuzz, no guarrantee it was stolen, there are a lot of people crashing them lately...

 

its not stolen at all...bought if from the same salvage yard the final drive is coming from...i just talked to the guy and he said that is comes with the 1st gear, bearing, countershaft, and the fd....would i see any difference using the first gear now

 

NO. The final drive is exactly the same in the GSR as in the USDM Type R trannies. You will see no difference. If you want to see a difference get the entire Type R tranny as the two trannies differ in gearing and the LSD found in the Type R tranny.

 

So if i had a bad synchro and i got this JDM final drive would it fix it?

 

ok, thanks for the help. i understand the deal better now. Next who has the best price on jdm final drives. i dont want to get from inlinefour.com as they have had problems lately.
