my gsr tranny broke from the housing ...where it bolts up to the rear motor mount...

is it possible for the housing of my old 92 ls cable tranny fit my 95 gsr hydro tranny???

...the car runs fine its just that it has no support by the firewall...so it rocks bad!! making it undrivable...

any input would be greately appreciated..

 

nuthing??? = [

 

Ummm.....Ebay a new tranny?

 

= [ ...this tranny had no grinds what so ever...i really want to fix it...if not...do u guys think that a type r one is really worth it??? which is better? usdm or jdm???

 

You could pull the current tranny out and take it to a metal shop and see if they can repair the cast aluminum housing. I don't know too much about welding aluminum so it's prolly best that you call and ask if they could weld cast aluminum to begin with. Then see if they can fix it. If not try and find another GSR tranny and canibalize the part you need. I understand how you want to keep the tranny because it's a good one. So I would try the welding first and then go to buy a new one if it can't be repaired

 

damn..thnx for the advice...any other thoughts??

 

first off welding aluminum is a bitch with a Tig welder...i would know...grrr...anyways check it out. just buy a new tranny from eBay or your local tranny shop. Go in and exchange your nasty old one for a nice new one! and there's no real difference b/w the USDM and JDM tranny's that i'm aware of...unless you want a cute little JDM plaque on her housing.

 

There could be a difference between JDM and USDM trannies such as different gear ratios or LSD depending on which ones we are talking about.

I would try and see if you could pick up a housing from someone here, on honda-tech, or on ebay. Since the gearset isn't affected, it would just be a matter of swapping the gearset out of the busted case and into the new one.

 

koo

 

yea..i know that the usdm itr has a 4.40 final drive and the jdm 98+ itr has a 4.70 final drive...but i think im stickig w/ the 4.40 jdm itr ...i found some one that wants to take my gsr tranny and 600 cash for a jdm itr 4.40 w/ lsd of course...heres a pic of my tranny where its broken from....oh and do u guys think that this is a good deal?????
