somone told me how to determine a cable b16,b17 tranny from a b18 (LS) tranny. The method requires placing the tranny in 3rd gear and that is when the tranny is not intact with anything. So what i need help is if anyone knows how to put the tranny in 3rd gear. Pictures will help alot!

Heres the Method:

"YS1 are actually any 1992-1993 Integra transmission, 5 speed of course, that's what we are talking about.

Including

b17a1 gsr's

... so the way you figure it out is this.

USDM 92-93 GS-R

1st : 3.307
2nd : 2.105
3rd : 1.459
4th : 1.107
5th : 0.875
final drive : 4.40

USDM 90-93 Integra GS/LS/RS

1st : 3.23
2nd : 1.900
3rd : 1.269
4th : 0.966
5th : 0.742
final drive : 4.266

soooooo.

what we are trying to figure out is how many times you have to spin the input shaft [where the clutch slides into] to turn the differential once [1].

so it is Final drive times [x] whatever gear you wanna use in the test, that is different that the other. like for example 3rd gear.

if it is a gsr. take 4.40 x 1.459 which is 6.1496 times you have to spin the input shaft for the differential to turn 1 time. of course you are going to put it in 3rd gear for the test.

if it is a ls/rs/gs, take 4.266 x 1.269 which is 5.413554. so round this number up, so it is 5.4-ish. so pretty much 5.5 turns of the input shaft to see the diff make 1 complete turn.

versus.

a little over 6 turns for the gsr transmission.

you can do this for whatever gear you want. you should know what to do to check it for other gears too. i typed up the gear ratios of the 2 different ones you are comparing. this works though. helped me know what transmission i am buying."

 

come on ppl i need help

 

nvm close plz. Got it figured out. So much for "honda-tech"...

 

It sounded like you put more thought into it, than you gave yourself credit for. Glad you solved your problem. If those ratios are correct why would you want the thread closed? You probably contributed a solution for someone else, without even giving yourself the "proppers" you deserve.
