How strong is the CA tranny...does it have ****ty synchros like the ka? Anyone torn up their ca tranny like I have my ka?

This is a crappy question, everybody knows that ALL nissan tranny's have ****ty synchro's. The CA seemed to be a bit better than my old KA tranny, but it still dosn't like to shift hard from 8500rpm's and up.

I think I'm gonna try to find either an S14SR tranny or somthing out of an RB in the next few months to upgrade mine too.

I've never had any experience with any other nissans so i wouldn't no....any rebuild kits out there for any of the trannys that can make it strong-

rebuilding tranny's is extremely expensive. Almost prohibitively so, better just to buy a new tranny.
