KA transmission on a CA

[TKE SigO 258]

My Question is can it be done?

I'm currently having my transmission rebuilt on my 1990 240sx. But, I will be getting a CA in the near future.

Will it bolt right up?

Thanks guys.

you need the ca bell housing to bolt up to the ka transmission..

^^^^^^^^^

Keep in mind, its a real pain in the *** to swap over. I have a KA transmission on mine.

There's a bunch of bolts all around where the bellhousing meets up with the transmission. They need to be removed. In addition, there is a plate inside the bellhousing that needs to be unbolted. There are several shims and ball-bearings inside that like to go everywhere once it's opened. A rubber mallet comes in handy when trying to separate the housing from the transmission.

I run a KA transmission too. RPMs are, *gasp* like a KA in 5th gear. I dunno. Lower than with a CA transmission by afew hundred RPM.
