My transmission isn't in the best of shape and i was wanting to rebuild it. Hopefully its just worn synchros and i'll replace them and maybe the shift sleeves and synchro hub as well and i was wondering if there was a US transmission i could order those parts for or if that is not possible?

On another note...I would like to purchase a spare CA longblock :)

Yes, i have heard that these trannies are easily swappable with just interchaning the bellhousings. But are the internals the same too?

Exactly the same exept for the bellhousing like someone already said, also though, the ka transmission is a little bigger as in longer.

Just get a transmission out of a CA18ET powered 200sx. They work just as well.

Do the bellhousings need to be swapped?
