Hey. Ok so ive got a jdm b16 which is in need of a new tranny. Ive been searching and ended up coming across a B17 tranny. A few of my friends were telling me how beast it would be on my b16. Now I've been told the gears are short but I was wondering. Is the b17 tranny on a b16 really that much better then a b16 tranny? Im wondering if it will give me the advantage over other b16's if the only difference was me having a b17 tranny. Thanks guys.

 

google told me honda tech says:
B17A1 (Cable):
YS1

This transmission is found on the rare "blacksheep" of b-series motors. The most important feature here is that its cable-type. This means you can bolt this into any 93 and older integra and 91 and older civic without having to change to hydraulic. The synchro's on this transmission are still considered weak, however the gearing is very good for all motor applications as its identical to the B16A transmissions. Finally, this transmission did not have factory LSD, so keep that in mind when someone is trying to tell you otherwise. Look to pay between 400-600 dollars for this transmission, although its going to be difficult to find and usually when you do, there is something wrong with it.

 

nm that came out like crap, let me retry and post the specs

Appears to me it is the same gearing as any other B16 tranny besides the b16 SiR cable trannies
