2g transmission in a 1g

[Cyclone_90]

Hey everyone I was wondering if I could put a 2g trans or 92 and later trans in a my car as an upgrade??? I heard they are much stronger. Thanks

im interested in this as well

Anyone know??

i may be stepping out of my bounds here.

but i think the reason you can't is because of the flywheel bolts.

I.E. 6 bolt 1g engine won't bold up to a 7bolt 2g tranny.

i was under the assumption that the only difference was obviously the flywheel but any tranny can bolt up, maybe with very minor modifications

I remember reading about it on dsmtalk, but can't give you any details, however I know that it has been done.

I would think it would be similar to the 6bolt swap into a 2nd gen. You'll need to modify the starter mount, and some bolts. But it should be possible.

 

[staticbrainwash]

would it work the same way then with an auto?

i'd be intrested in that if 2g tranny's are stronger than 1g.

or i could just get a whole new tranny from IPT.

hmmmm. . . any solid insight into this would be nice.

2g trans = 3 mounts
1g trans = 2 mounts

i personally don't think its worth the hassle/ghetto rigging

but the 91-94 trans is better than the 90, correct?

man i've heard about a million different things about the years/differences of the trans

i've heard that the synchros in the 90s suck since they are made of something besides brass?

i've heard that 92+ is double cone second gear synchro

and i can't remember all the other stuff i have heard - everyone argues about it non stop though so who knows

 

[iwantawd]

ok how bout the jdm switchable tranny

sounds like fun to me

does anyone know this for sure? I have a line on a freshly rebuilt six bolt with a transmission, but it's a 2g tranny...need to know if it's gonna fit in before I shell out the cash. tranny mounts aren't to bad if you have to fab em up...

**edit** oops, this is going into a 92...thanks.

the only real diffrence in the 90's from 91-99 cars are tranny wise is that the 90 has a diffrent shifter setup. so yes you can put a 92-94 tranny in your car but you will also have to swap the shifter cables and base plate ect.. also while your in there put in shift bushings and probally a short shifter too.

i dont think that your going to be able to put a 2g tranny in a 1g. your just asking for problems there.. there is only one mount on the 1g tranny and there are 3 mounts on the 2g tranny.

6bolt in a 2g has nothing to do with trannys ect.. when you do that setup you ALWAYS want to use the 2g

 

[unior]

mounts are different

other thing 2g trans has a sending unit for the speed instead of a cable

if its a dsm i wouldnt bother

there are some mirage/colt guys doing it though
