Um, a GSR isn't that short. A B16 and Type R are the shortest and they are also the same except for some final drives and all Type Rs have LSD and the JDM B16 is optional I think.

if you're N/A get a b16 tranny. just make sure your exhaust is quite so you don't get hassled by cops. my teg has a ls/vtec with a B16 tranny and it is ANNOYINGLY loud on the highway.

Get either a GSR Transmission, which is.......well guess what? Geared for the GSR engine!

or a b16 transmission if you aren't going to boost. My favorite transmission for boost is GSR because the fifth gear isn't as long for those long runs

Re: ls Tranny and GSR motor...Is it a good idea

well i just bolted up that ls tranny. i like it alot better than the GSR. the gears are longer and it feels like im getting more power out of my gsr motor. But i guess it depends on what kinda of drive style you have.

Re: ls Tranny and GSR motor...Is it a good idea

I liked it in my turboed gsr. I think I wiould even like it in an NA GSR just because of gas milage. I hated being at such a high rpm doing 65mph. Even with a turbo though I could still tell it was a little slower, not really by much though.
