K so i was driving on the highway the other day going 100kms, then all of a sudden my 5th gear fell apart or something. 5th doesn't work, its as if it's in neutral. and now it makes a bunch of rattling noises and what not inside. so i assume its fallen apart. so now its jacked up and im about to take out the transmission tonight.

here are my options, get it rebuilt? buy an new transmission?

i was also told i can put on an SR transmission by swapping the bell housings? does this also work for a KA?

and one more thing, if i do end up getting an SR transmission, will my CA clutch still be compatible.

thanks.
