Check out a JDM vendor. There are a lot of worn out USDM B-series transmissions out there and you might be better off talking to some who sells JDM drivetrains so you can get some peace of mind and the option to send it back if it grinds or pops out.
so i have a 95 civic dx...gunna do a k20a3 swap soon...wanted some thoughts on which tranny to aim for?...
if you dont mind me asking, y dont you just use a cable trans? i actually saw a gsr cable trans for sale in this forum recently, if you really want to stick with hyrdo in a ef, hasport makes a kit
Cable GSR (B17A) is less common and higher probability of being worn out simply becaus it is flippin' old and kinda rare in the states. But you are right about the cable transmission part of it. Cable B16 transmissions are more in abundance and cheaper.
I have been told the costs for rebuilding it yourself is over $800 in parts.
You can get a JDM LSD or non-LSD transmission from hmotosronline but they're in CA and shipping costs might be high
I'm aware that Hasport makes B into EF hydro mounts and conversion kits for this but that would end up costing me around 500 dollars or so to buy new, that's why I posted what I did. I've found some mounts/conversion "kits" for half that but they're used.
Wait, i'm confused... why are you looking for a hydro tranny if you don't want to buy the hydro conversion kit to put this in an EF?
