ka tranny to sr tranny help

[smoken805s14/s13]

so i've heard that you can use a ka tranny with the sr bellhousing, but when i tried to put them together it wasn't fitting correctly, i was wondering if the ka transmission had to be a certain year? can anyone help me with this thanks

[willievo]

part of the transmission falls out of place and gets in the way if you aren't holding it when you go to put it together.

Unless you have the 6-speed trans mentioned above you're just doing it wrong. The bellhousings are funky to get on and off correctly. They jam up on the front bearings and occasionally they will knock two shift forks into gear at the same time, which you have to take the trans back off to fix... Just be patient and careful, doublecheck everything before you install it, and some assembly lube never hurt anyone.

nope it's just a 5-speed

make sure you take your time dont rush.

Taking the front cover off before you separate the housing?

The "big hole" still has the destroyed bearing in it.

[smoken805s14/s13]

i know i put that back in there for the picture..i forgot to say that that's the hole the other bearing doesn't fit in there...sorry for the confusion

[S14DB]

I think the blown race of the other bearing is still in there.
