ca18det transmission Question

[jimbo22]

ok so my transmission is starting to grind a lil bit and i was wondering does the ka transmission bolt up to the ca bell housing?

[DALAZ_68]

yes...it does...so do SR's (5speeeds)

5th gear is the only difference between all the different trannys. CA offers the highest 5th gear. If you get a KA or SR transmission you will get lower revs whille cruising.

[jimbo22]

so is the lower gear a bad thing or does it really even matter? and if i get the ka transmission will it still rev to 8rpm?

All depends on what YOU think. It's personal choice and completely dependant and what you do with the car...

A lower 5th gear will decrease your cruising rpm and subsequently (afaik) increase your gas mileage.
