I have a b16 j1 cable tranny if I buy a ls cable tranny can I put my b16 1-4 gears in it and will my clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing work in the ls tranny?

 

Interesting concept. Not sure if it will work but you should be able to put the ls 5th in your tranny now. That would be easier.

I bet it would work. My friend had a turbo b16 ef hatch and I am pretty sure that is what he did with his trans since his stock b16 cable trans had the infamous 3rd
gear grind. I think this is what he did because he pointed out the same thing you did- about how cheap they are. This was years ago though, so there is a chance I am wrong.

 

cause I can get a ls tranny for a $100 but its got a 3rd rear grind and my b16 gears are all fine, but I dont want to pull my tranny out and find out that it wont work, cause it takes a gd amount of time and effort to take tranny out and switch gears, especially if it doesnt work

 

I hear of people putting ls 5th gears in b16 tranny's all the time, so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way around.

Absolutely not.

B motors are B series, D motors are D series.
B16/7,8, etc are B series. D15/6 are D series.

 

someone had 2 try this

 

I'm pretty sure you can.

Or just buy an LS and swap the final drive like sombody else mentioned :-P.

Lemme go find bense.

 

or could I buy shorter gears to put in the LS tranny, but would the gears b costly?

 

bump

 

As long as the 2 transmissions are cable youll be fine to switch gears, diff. and final drives with no prob. As for the clutch its the same thing, Cable clutch for cable trans, hydro clutch for hydro trans.

 

so my flywheel clutch pressure plate and throwout bearing will fit in the LS with no problems?
