im almost positive it would, i kno the ka and ca trannys are interchangeable, you just need to keep the CA bell housing, so i would think it would work fine, woudlent really make sense for nissan to chage it when they made the sr then the ka in the us

My question is: I have an auto CA transmission now, can I just keep the bell housing from it and swap a manual transmission from a KA later on?

Thanks,Mike

auto and manual bellhousings are different. You need the CA 5spd bellhousing.
