simple transmission question..

[SRdS14]

its a simple question that i think i know, but i'm just making sure: a friend of mine is buying my old ka24de in my garage. however, he has a ka24e...will his transmission match up with my engine?? in other words, will the ka24e transmission bolt onto the ka24de engine? Thanks guys...~Scott

I've been told that the auto trans from a SOHC will not work on a DOHC. Is that only true for the autos? Thanks!

they will work, but you need a plug converter for the transmission sending unit.

speaking of transmission compatability, will any year manual work with any year regardless of s13 or s14? If not which are the same for transmission mount, etc.

[TrunkMonkey]

all 240 transmissions are the same, regardless of year.

Could someone explain what is meant by a using a plug converter on the auto trans. I need to install a 91 auto trans in my 90 mdl car. please help!!!!

You may have to cut the ends off of the new transmission and wire the ends off of the old transmission onto the new transmissions. In other words, the plugs are different and so you will need to change them.

yes, however this is not always the case.July of 1990 was when the plugs changed.

I believe that July of 1990 would be a 1991 model year. I think that applies for most vehicles but sometimes the ones on the border months are different.
