Yes, but the LS has longer gears, so it won't necessarily feel the same as driving a GSR.

 

ya i know, but i was not asking that

Almost all b-series transmissions will bolt up. The exceptions are the 88-91 cable trannies. The input shaft is smaller. If you want an LSD...better get a good shop to install it. Someone on here may have pics, but if you have never cracked open a tranny before...DON'T DO IT!!! You can use the OEM ITR lsd or get an aftermarket one like ATS, Cusco, Kaaz, Quaife, etc...

Oh yeah, it's GSR.

 

do a SEARCH for 'lsd install'.

As long as you have a helms manual and a good set of tools, cracking open a tranny and putting a lsd in is no problem. just make sure you take your time and triple-check EVERYTHING. you don't want your tranny to tear itself apart. having a friend to assist is helpful as well.

go to http://www.helminc.com for the helms manual.

 

Tranny will work, like everyone above has stated.

But I have to recommend not tearing down the transmission if you either haven't done it before or are not extremely mechanically inclined.

You would probably end up having to buy more specialty tools to finish the install than you would care to know. Have a shop install it and save a huge and potentially expensive headache.

 

the only tools i needed when i did the install were, a HELMS, a torque wrench, a good socket set, a breaker bar, a 3 ton floor jack/jack stands, some blocks of wood, snap ring pliers, a feeler gauge, and hondabond. If the lsd he's putting in has tapered bearings, then he'll need the socket they've designed for preloading the lsd when torquing down the case.

If you have the helms, tranny work isn't all that hard. it might be a bit intimidating when you first open it up, but in the end its pretty simple to install an lsd. you do have to be mechanically inclined to do it, and it might take you more than a day or so the first time. just make sure you have another car to use during down time. once again, having a friend to lend a hand helps a great deal, but you can do the whole operation yourself if you have the inclination.

good luck.

edit: a bench-mounted vise comes in handy, as you can wedge differential(s) between two blocks of wood in the vise so you can torque those final drive bolts down (76 ft/lbs, i think)


edit again: i was incorrect about the preload operation. the special tool checks the preload on the differential after putting the tranny back together. this tool is used after rotating the diff in both directions to seat the tapered roller bearings (again, after the tranny is assembled).
