I have a oppertunity to buy a new type r trans for $900 and i want to find out if it wil fit my B17A1
Won’t work, your b17 tranny is cable the type r is hydro. Conversion is not worth it. Your better off with the b17’s ys1 tranny which has gears very close to the type R.
will it still bolt up? besides the cable hydro thing, ill take care of that
i read in turbo, some guy used the type r internals and the stock casing in his g2. shrugs then again ive seen a pinto racing at battle?!?!?! made in brazil my ass!

is it any harder to swap hydro tranny gears into a cable tranny then swapping around cable tranny gears into a cable tranny? makes sense to me that if you are going to swap in the ls 5th gear then why would you buy a 10 year old cable tranny ys1 when you could buy a 99gsr hydro tranny and swap the gears out
As far as bolting up to your engine yes it will do that with no problems. About swapping the gears, I’m not sure. Ask around someone will know!
thanks guys for the help, i am going to do it, i think i can considering i am a tech at acura. i will keep you posted on how it goes dan
