ok im wondering is the b16 tranny better than the b18 tranny, because the shorter gearsin the 16 would make you get up and go faster right?
FTMFW!!!thats why you use the LS final gear in the b16 :thumbs up
Without trying to thread jack anyone, did you give any thought to rebuilding your GS-R trans and upgrading the parts or is it more advantageous to just go low mileage Type R trans? My trans is starting to grab gears and become notchy, so I'm looking to swap a Type R trans but wanted to get some of the 'ins and outs' of the difference between fully built GS-R trans or Type R.You don't just need the gears but also each gear's mainshaft. If you add the cost up, it's cheaper just to get a GSR trans. It's a good compromise.
I replaced my bad GSR trans with a Type R. I plan to swap over 4th and 5th when I replace the clutch next year. Doing 3800 RPM at 70 MPH just sucks whether you care about fuel economy or not. Luckily for me I don't have to get on the freeway to go to work.
