Will I need an s14 5 spd lower harness for my rb20 swap? Also is the ka24de automatic engine harness different from the 5spd engine harness? I still have the s14 engine harness but threw away the auto lower harness.

it is best to use the lower harness from the car that is being swapped...saves headaches.the 5spd lower is different than the auto; ideally the auto would be used and adapted to the rb block.

I used my automatic...s14 lower harness didnt have to change anything; i used my sr20de alternator though and an sr20det speed sensor in the gearbox.

will the speed sensor off the rb20det transmission work? Also it looks like there are three sensors on the rb transmission, will they all work as is?

Lol, I'm asking everyone because we're in the same boat. I'd rather not open another thread with the same topic.

Im using the one off the ka24e. It drops right in. The one from my Rb was cut so that didnt work out. Carl did my upper wiring harness, so the ka lower harness snapped right in.

So all the sensors on the rb trans worked good with the ka lower harness?
