ebay or dee. someone else might have one on here but those two (dee especially) will be your heavy hitters. ebay will most likely be transmission/bell housing.

Dee would be me and you would come out better just buying a CA transmission because almost no one is just willing to part with a bellhousing. Good luck with that........

Lucky bastard! He must've had a bad transmission because I personally wouldn't part with such gold, no matter how many spare parts I have.

Just use any CA s12 manual bellhousing? I don't know if there is a difference in a ca18et's and a ca20e's bellhousings and want to get the right part to adapt a ka manual transmission to a ca18det.

I thought using the S12 bellhousing moved the shifter up to words the front of the car and made the shifter hit the hole in the body.

Mine is from a CA transmission. Make it worth my time to drive out to my garage and I will go pick it up for anybody who wants it.

thats the rear half of the trans.

if you use the s12 bellhousing with a s13/14 trans, the shifter will sit were its supposed too.

supposedly.
