so you're running a b16 motor with no vtec? putting an ls trans on that inside of a DA is almost like sticking a single cam in there. Go for a b16 cable trans

b16 - if you don't travel too much.
gsr - if you do.

gsr has longer gears so you won't be in fifth at like 4k for five hours ha

The GSR cable trans isn't geared much longer than the B16, I'm over 4k at 80mph on the highway. Pretty closr to where my Si trans was on my 3rd gen. If you want low rpms on the highway, have an LS 5th gear put in the GSR or B16 trans.

uh like what gears work?or do i have any parts of the tranny swapped? the gears all work(3rd grinds if u force it) its a ls trans. and 75mph in 5th gear is around 4700-4800rpm

thats what im saying. im fairly sure its an LS trans. but thats just what the guy i bought it from said. this is my 4th integra, third 2nd gen ive owned and ive never had such short gear ratio's or whatever its called. thats 1of the reasons im taking that tranny out. plus it makes alot of vibration/rattle noise, it could b the throw out bearing i guess...but its burnt either way haha
