S14 SR20 Transmission Rebuild HELP!

[92vert240]

Ive called a few places and no one even knows what an SR20 is!! I am on long island and need my s14 SR20 5-speed re built. Are the parts for the SR transmission's exactly the same as the KA transmission's? Are the part #'s interchangable? Please help me out here. I would rather get it re done then buy a used one.

But if i need to buy another used one, where are some good sites? Ive been out of the loop for a while and everywhere i used to know isnt around anymore. Last thing i want to do is get one from ebay that doesnt work.

Thanks alot in advance!

From what I hear they are the same and they just get rebuilt as a 240sx transmission. (if something isn't the same the rebuilder will catch it) but I doubt the parts to rebuild it would be different because that trans is very common in many other nissans also. Have you thought of going vg trans?

That is what i have been finding is that they are the same. What year KA transmission do i tell them to build to? KA-E or KA-DE is there a difference?

And to be honest i dont even know what a VG trans is. I want the simplest quickest easiest fix. I am selling the car immediately after i fix this. I just dont believe in selling something that isnt 100% so ide like to fix it first.

Thanks for the quick response!

If that's the intention of the car, look in your local craigs list and find one local. around here you can find stock ka trans for 75 to $100 out of wrecked cars. A trans rebuild from a shop will probably run you like $600 -800 which isn't worth it if you're just selling the car.

But i do not want to sell the car with any possible problems since i believe its worth 12K and thats what ide be asking.
If i do get a used KA transmission, Which year should i look for? My motor is an S14 i believe early like 94-95.

Thanks!

Ok ive been searching and really cannot believe how impossible it is to find a rebuild kit for a 240sx!! Im assuming i'll need a kit made for a s14 ? or s13? IDK. Need answers here.

[92vert240]

Nothing huh? What the hell! Guess I'll be spending $1000 on a few different rebuild kits till i get the right parts :/

Wow dude chill. People don't eat sleep and breath this forum. The kit will be the same but IT DOESN'T MATTER! Your not going to be the one rebuilding it so let the shop worry about it. The s13 and s14 are the same excact tranis except the bell housing (which doesn't get ”rebuilt”) and $12k with a stock trans? Your car better be fully built including some sort of trans upgrade to even think about getting that much and even then... These cars don't go for that much.

Well I would rather tell she shop what part number transmission to reference so when he buys 3 kits to get I correct, I dot get hit with the bill. I do see different kit part numbers on eBay for the same year 240's is why I ask.

And my car is stock s14 SR 20, fmic exhaust 3" turbo back. Went 12.35@ 110 first and only time at the track. Has 73k miles on it has been garaged since new and never been driven in the rain or snow. You will not find a cleaner one.

Well since your setup is s14, get an s14 kit. If there are any differences they won't buy a whole kit, they will just buy that part by itself that is different. (which if there are gears that are bad that need replaced look at spending an a** load of money because they aren't included in a ”kit”) either way, GLWS.

That's what I figured. That just wanted to be sure. I have bad luck with things and hear "wow I've never seen that before" way to often.
Anyway, thanks for the reply, and you can find my car in the for sale section once this is squared away probably titled "cleanest s13......" something to that nature. Thanks again!!

Just get a good s13/s14 ka trans. Take off the ka bellhousings and swap the sr bellhousings on. I have done this several times.

I would like to keep the car matching numbers. Plus, it will not work if I go that route. Trust me!! I will get the one bad one out of 100. And also I don't want to have issues with the plugs being different or anything like that.

search the forum for transmission rebuild. I remember there have been references to a reputable company that sells rebuild kits for various cars. Maybe someone here remembers and will post the website link.

Wow! Awesome! Thank you! But again, there are 3 different kits. Which one should I buy? Again, I have an s14 sr20 setup.

Imo you only have 2 to choose from. There is the kit for the 93-97 (which is the kit I would order). The main thing you need to find out is about the bearing they are referring to. If you have or need the one bearing that is .25mm o.d. Then you will need the more expensive kit..... call them and ask them what application takes that bearing and if it applies to.your trans. That looks like the only difference for the 93-97 kit is the one bearing. Just call that company and let us know what happens.
