Do I have to reshim and what synchro with this gear combo ? please help !!

[Belette]

I have 3 trannies sitting now in the garage, and I don't have enough money yet to buy another final drive. I thought about this gears combo(look good anyways I go nitrous,N/A or turbo), and I don't know if I have to shim back shaft and what synchro I need to use ? or grind something ?


y8 tranny:

1st: 3.25, stock
2nd: 1.909, stock
3rd: 1.250, stock
4th: 1.066, third from 92-95 CX
5th: 0.771, from 88-91 civic SI

Maybe I should use stock 5th if I have to reshim or grind it ?

thank you

synchros = a monkey can't mess them up.

You might have to shim, you might not.

How I will know I need to shim ?
Do you have any write up about this ?
Do I have to regrind any gears to fit ?

And what do you think about my gears combo ?

thank you transzex !

the 3rd CX should not need grinding when used as 4th, should! Last customer I charged the normal grind fee after he shipped me the wrong gears, TWICE!

Shim = follow the Helms, one secret I'm not sure works 100% of the time.

Your 3-4 shift will be pointless IMHO, unless built for a 70-110 mph street race

The ZC 3rd is golden, I just turned down $150 for 3rd gear alone.

Sometime I go the the track, and sometime on the street I go fast.

You are in France, right? I'm not sure if you know this, but if you have any CRXs around, most should have a D16A8/9 or a D16Z5 in them.
They should all have the wonderful 1.346 3rd gear ratio, so just start looking around junkyards...
