Vg30e s13 trans

[mattjrbdet]

Does anybody know if a s13 5 speed will fit on to a vg30e in a 86 z31? I don't mind swapping the bell housing I just need a new trans and I can get a ka trans easier than a z31 trans

Technically, anything will fit given the right tools & motivation. However, in your case, a KA transmission will not bolt directly up and will require machine work and some type of adapter plate to work properly.

Not to mention that KA/SR trannies are inherently weak & tend to be beaten to death...

I think they're actually the same trannies, just with different bellhousings. I am NOT 100% sure on that though, would have to do more research.

The KA/SR trannies are reliable up to about 350-400hp, I doubt a VG30E would be an issue. The trannies are not weak they're just old and typically abused.
