CA18DET with KA24DE 5spd Transmission

[PanCubano]

So I tried to do some research to see if anyone asked this question and came up with a "partial" answer over at this thread:

JesusFreakDriver says to someone (can't find who) that they used a ka24de transmission on the CA18DET and asked if the driveshaft lined up which dvdeo confirmed, but, I was wondering if anyone else has done this? I can't find anymore information on it (at least I wasn't able to)

KA tranny won't bolt straight up. you will need the CA bell housing.

Ah, that's unfortunate. Thanks!

Unfortunate?!??!! Just use the CA bell housing. So simple!

My CA transmission was trashed when I bought it out of Montreal, I got a trans off a KA24 from a pick and pull as the only difference is the bell housing and 5th gear CA=0.83 vs. KA=0.76 rebuilt it with $650 in parts and it is excellent. Good luck finding a CA case.
