I have a chance to buy a JDM CTR trans for $550. What would i need for this swap? Is it just a straight bolt up? Also I believe that the Gear ratios are the same to an ITR or close to it. For those with an ITR trans in a LS how is highway crusing? I just want to know all this before I go buying this and not liking it. BTW here is a pic.

i cant see the pic but it is just a straight swap since its a b-series motor. I would rev a little higher i do believe since the gears are shorter.

edit: now i can see it after i posted this first reply

You will be at 4.5k in 5th gear at 84mph. That's not too bad. Linkage.

ya around 5k at 80mph.. i have the JDM ITR tranny w/ the 4.78 FD.. Highways are no fun anymore.. but this thing does tear it up on the streets..

Is it worth the lost of highway for the gain in street speeds? I am doing a cam install before I get the trans. so I am looking for performance. Is this a good price for the trans? it has 25000 miles on it and no grinds? I am looking at autocrossing part time in my teg. So I am thinking this is a good invenstment. Any other comments that i should hear before I jump into this swap.

We've covered this in prior threads.

Gear ratios for the various B-series transmission swaps have also been covered here before. Please run search.

What "loss in highway" ?

We've covered how to calculate your rpm landing points in prior threads. We've also covered how to calculate your torque multiplication effect w/ various gear and final drive combos. Those are the two gear ratio related factors which affect a transmissions "performance".

Yes its a good price....a little too good if you ask me. The JDM ITR transmissions usually sell for $1000+

Depending on your region's solo2 courses, that 4.7 FD + 2nd gear + stock redline, may leave you without enough rpms to to do the entire course in 2nd gear. IMO: unless its a really wide open course, shifting into 3rd gear for a couple hundred rpms usually isn't worth it. The off-throttle loss of speed coupled w/ throwing the balance of the car off if you have to actually turn right before, during or after the upshift rpm is usually slower.
