Sr Swap/transmission sensor questions

[smokey861]

The shop i was doing my swap at threw out my ka transmission....with the sensors. What model years sensors can i use. like can i use s14 sensors and does anyone have any spare ones i can buy

[kota2240]

damn tell the shop to pay for that ****, they should have asked you first. and sorry i dont have any spare ones. go to a junkyard and take them off and put them in your pocket. im not sure about the s14

so whats the problem? go to the autozone and get new ones.

They aren't that expensive. That is for the ka transmission. Im not sure about the sr.

i didnt know they hadthem at auotzone. if they are there ill buy them. what would i ask. for. is it the neutral and reverse sensor i thik?

yep. if they used the ka lower harness then you can use ka sensors. the ka and sr trans are the same, except for that sensor in the middle of the ka trans and it doesnt matter. if its an s13 sr then you need sensors from s13 if it was an s14 sr you need s14 sensors. if they used the sr lower harness you need to go get in their shyt and make them give you a lower ka harness or new sr sensors. if you know how to solder and they used the sr harness just solder the new sensors to the harness. its a whole load of crap that the speed shops give people to make money. most people, even the ones that know about cars, believe them cause they are a shop or they dont know any better. for example i talked to this shop about a starter, they said $200 for a used one? what the funk, the only diff. between the sr and ka starter is the mounting plate and if you got half a brain you can use a ka starter to rebuild the sr and not spend a penny. is there a problem with the trans?

You can use the SR lower harness and be fine just swap out the speed sensor and your good to go.

OK So if i justcut the ka harness, soder in ther sr one, then take the speed sensor(thats the thing with the gears on it) then i can use my sr sensors

what are those sensors used for anyways? is it the neutral and reverse sensor?

[stiergott]

hold on. if your lower harness has big connectors on it then it is the ka. DONT NOT CUT AND PASTE IF YOU HAVE THE KA LOWER HARNESS. the sensors from auto zone will plug straight in and work no problems. i actullay think one is the 5th gear sensor, it tells the computer when the car is in 5th and the computer, if its not been flashed, should limit the rpm so the car stays under 115mph. the one on the bottom near the bellhousing is the reverse sensor. DONT CUT THE KA HARNESS.

truboost, do they have autozone in japan? my clip came with an oil filter from autozone and i was curious if someone might have changed the fluids before he sold me the clip.
