Kastigir Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 A cabled trans won't work, unless you convert it. Which I wouldn't understand anyone doing if it's a good hydro trans. The guts should be swappable. SSR would know more about it than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 That's weird....I thought B16 tranny's were cable and GSR tranny's were hydraulic. At least, that's the way my B16 Del Sol and 00 GSR were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends upon the year of the B16. Anything post 95 should be hydro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 5th gear is out for a reason. If it grinds you need to replace the 5/R hub/slider assembly. If it pops out, replace the synchro spring or the trans is likely toast from running low on fluid. But yes, the B17 5th is a straight swap. Don't change the shafts unless you can reshim the mainshaft and diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B20B Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 how do i get a hold of SSR. and it feels like it goes into fith but it just revs up and when i push on it grinds. other then that the trans is good and works fine i just dont want to go back to a cable so i was wondering if i could swap 5th out of a cable into a hydro to save me money since i have the trans laying around and it would be a loner 5th then the b16 which would be nice for highway use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for contacting SSR, look at the post right above yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B20B Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 what about changing the houseing of the gsr and b16 are the shafts different, fatter or longer. cause it would just be easier to do that then take the guts out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Changing the case IS changing the shafts. Mainshaft and diff have to be reshimmed. You need to replace the 5/R hub/slider set AND mainshaft 5th gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B20B Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 ok thanks for the info ill take out evferything in the gsr and put it in the b16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Do you know how to shim the mainshaft and diff? If so, do you have the $140 worth of tools to shim the mainshaft? If the answer is no to either, take it to someone who knows how to do so and can do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Injection Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Listen to SSR!!!!!!! I've learned if you don't know how to do something, or don't have the required tools, its a whole lot easier to pay someone to do it. It will save you a major headache in the long run. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and I don't even f*&k with transmissions. Yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Then you shouldn't have had to ask any questions about it. Who has the MS base and holder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
