Re: Hydro tranny conversion
The biggest difference between the two is going to be the gear ratios, so you could use your existing trans or do a gear swap into yours if you wanted to.

Re: Hydro tranny conversion
The GSR tranny will have a small gearing advantage over your DA transmission.Whether it's worth the cost of the new tranny and cost/time to convert to hydro clutch actuation is up to you.You'll be making a relatively slow car just very slightly less slow.
You'd gain the most advantage with a B16 cable tranny.It'd be the easiest to swap in and have better gearing than the GSR tranny.Next options would be a Hydro B16 or ITR/CTR tranny.Hasport makes a kit to convert the car to hydro actuation.

Re: Hydro tranny conversion
Ok thanks I will look into the b16 cable trans. I just like the DA cable cause of the long gears. What year is that b16 trans?? Or us it like mine up until 93 94 ish??

Re: Hydro tranny conversion
If you like the long gears, keep the DA trans. All B-series trans of the same generation are all the same except for the gear ratios.

Re: Hydro tranny conversion
I always suggest the hydro to cable kit. Hydro b series trans are always easier to find and readily available. There are two kits you can go with, one that uses a reservoir and is true hydrolic while the other just lets you use the hydro trans with your cable set up....i'm sure there is a better way to explain it but i think i'm about to have a heat stroke out here on the job andn just don't have it in me to try n explain it better. I use the the second kit that i mentioned for my gsr swapped crx.
