Is it possible to fit a tranny off of a RB20det onto a KA24e motor? Swap bell housing maybe? Thanks for the help.

why would you rb20 tranny are weak as hell there pretty the same thing it would be a waste of money but yes and they just bolt right up

now a rb25 tranny is the way to go and it will also bolt up along with a matching rb clutch so u can run a sweet twinplate and have a real cool smooth shifting tranny if you have a high hp ka-t setup

I just bought a 90 hatch. Tranny is shitty so I just wanted a tranny to make it run until I do a full motor and tranny swap. So will it bolt right up with the same bell housing? I have the bell housing I took off the stock 5 sp tranny.

You gotta also have to remember you will need a new a driveshaft for the trans. But rb25 trans on ka? Works? That's good to know

Tranny is stuck in reverse. Something grinded the shit out of the wall inside the tranny. I dunno how to rebuild and having someone rebuild it is way to expensive.

Now my second question is. Will a shifter from the KA tranny fit into the RB tranny?

yeah u would need a drive shaft and tranny mount

but yeah the rb trans will bolt up to the ka trans like 3-4 bolts line up to the motor to bolt up

i only know cause a friend is doing a rb trans with a twinplate on his high power ka-t

and ka24de and ka24e use the same block so that would not be a issue either

I realize that this post is from 2011 .....I just had a question myself why would you nees to change the drive shaft and another mount if the rb20 and ka trans is pretty much the same ?
Thx in advance!

The RB25 transmission does not bolt up to the KA, you would have to make an adapter plate like you would a VG30 Transmission, custom shifter, custom crossmember, etc etc. This thread is super old BTW...
