I'm 90% sure every year kaDe will fit, it's abs vs non-abs that might be different.

^^ has nothing to do with abs bro.

only difference is the lower harness on the newer ones slightly. just swap your old one on

any KA transmission will fit. now if you want different cars. here you go

BigVinnie wrote:Tired of the inevetable slow 5th gear? Tired of slow 1/4mile times?Well I've been doing some research and have found out that the KA transmission is the 4th generation transmission made since some of Lseries engines back in the mid 1970's. Any transmission that has the begining I.D reference of (FS) is compatible to that of the KA, all bellhousings share the same bolt pattern from engine to transmission. Most of which are also the same length transmission's as well. I decided to research this project because no matter how much juice(HP) I put into my KA the 5th gear, which I call the lazy 5th is still too slow. It was purposelly devised this way from Nissan of America to be more of a fuel conserver. (well what ever in my mind is conserving fuel obviously isn't delivering me the power I want to the wheels.)

So lets start by exploring the 240sx transmission gear ratio's. Pay attention to the I.D reference numbers.

Nissan 240sx 1989-1998 Transmission number FS5W71C1st: 3.321, 2nd: 1.902, 3rd: 1.308, 4th: 1, 5th: 0.759

Now take a look at the 3rd generation transmission that came from the 1981-1983 200sx.

Z20s transmission 1981 ONLY1st: 3.321, 2nd: 2.077, 3rd: 1.308, 4th: 1, 5th: 0.864Z22s transmission 1981-83 Transmission number FS5W71B1st: 3.592, 2nd: 2.246, 3rd: 1.415, 4th: 1, 5th: 0.813

Even the Nissan truck (frontier) came with a better 5th gear.......Nissan Frontier 1997 Transmission number FS5W71C1st: 3.321, 2nd: 1.902, 3rd: 1.308, 4th: 1, 5th: 0.838

Personally I have selected the z20s transmission, although I will lose a little bit of my top speed numbers, my car will make up for even faster accelerated numbers at the wheels. We will find out soon enough what kind of numbers we will be dealing with once installed, and I have removed the rev limiter speed functions and sensors.In order to use these older generation transmissions you will need to remove all sensors from the transmission, and reprogram the ECU for no limiter (speed govenor) these older transmissions didn't come with the ports to support speed sensors. Which in my mind are retarded to begin with.

Here are my sources and where I recieved my info......... Gracieland.org is an excellent web site that tells you the percentage of power that is moved in the up shift. Tells you the slight differences that came with the (FS) transmissions. Hope you enjoyed.

with abs your braking system is different thats about it and you have different wheels hubs etc. but the transmission has nothing to do with all that jazz.

luckily our Rear wheels spin lol and we don't have Trans/Axel's.

The ABS and non-ABS cars use a different driveshaft. Don't post info here if your not sure of your facts.

My car is an 89 240sx

on that trans have bolted and 93 a Late 94 KA to it. The bell housing's are the same. the only difference you will find is with the gear sensors and some other sensor on the Newer OBDII transmission on the bell housing it self. a couple of them changed spots. i know this becuase i have since had a trannies from and late 94 right before the obdII crossover and a 93 240

Maybe I should have worded my post a little different. That is great info you posted about the gear ratio differences in the other transmissions. I wasn't bashing on what you have done, I was simply notifying the OP that he would need the right driveshaft for his application because of this post.

I understand you know what you're talking about, but to someone that isn't very inclined, they need to know that they can't use an ABS driveshaft on an ABS car, regaurdless of the transmission they're using.

yea i hear you bro thats why i didn't cuss at you lol. i was not sure. im cool

also its almost similar to the whole abs ring with the various J30 vlsd half shalfs jazz. i didn't want to throw that in the mix and confuse him.

becuase more than likely he would be using the drive shaft that he has now, my drive shaft is a whore,, its been plug into three trannies in the last 4years LOL and 2 differentials.

steal a transmission outta a z32 and get the bell housing customized. z32 can handle alot more abuse than the 240's

probably, im gonna slap a z32tt 5spd into my s14 when i get one (in the next 4-6months) only issue is dealing with the starter mount location, i can get the transmission (which is rebuilt with no miles on it other than the 54k before the rebuild) for about 150$

i have did a lil reading on custom swaps such as 2jz's, you have to bang on the transmission tunnel to make clearance.

If you swap the bell housings you can use the SR trannies too.... I think?

the dust sheilds are also different on s13 and s14 trannys. the s14 driveshaft has a sort of bulge right after the spline? (the part that sticks into the transmission) and its too big to fit into the s13 transmission dust shield. You'll most likely have to rip it off if your gonna use a s13 transmission.
