tranny question?

[DelSolFreak]

does honda or anyone for that matter make a 6 speed tranny that will mount to the b16a2 in my 97 del sol?

[Ben.]

if i'm not mistaken i thought i read about some custom (and by custom i mean tranny that runs upward of 10K pricewise) for a b-series setup or something..

 

i'm probably mistaken. just thought i'd seen it mentioned somewhere.

do you think it would be possible to use the k20 tranny off the new Si and make a custom adapter plate, shift linage and cv axles?

[Ben.]

Would probably take a LOT of money but yea..if you've got the money and the genius to design such a thing.. It could be done.

[DelSolFreak]

would you happen to know the tranny number for the new Si so i can look up the specs and the dimentions?

hey busted that tranny you are talking about i think was a dog style cut and it was like 15K. sooo not worth it. As for making a 6-speed tranny for a b16. I think your best and cheapest way to do it would be to swap a k20 with a 6-speed.

Do all B series trannies work with any B series engine?

 

Wasn't the VTEC del sol (B16A3 I thought) a 6 speed already?

[Hatch92]

the b16a3 is a 5 speed

thanks guys! i was mostly looking to save on gas! but i dont really want to widen the gear ratios cause im not pushing nearly enough power to do that! lol!

 

! how awsome would that be! slightly modded del sol with a widened gear ratio! hahahaha! hell ya! id kill every one on the streets! lol!

[Ben.]

No. You wouldn't. Wider gears mean you'd stay in that gear for a long ass time. Your car only makes so much power.
