i would swap another KA on the bellhousing, going to be cheaper and easier to find locally. and sometimes i hear ppl crying about jdm trans sensors and ka24 lower harness issues but i never looked into it because i swapped tranny's and bellhousing's as well, so if your on ka24 lower harness maybe check that out.

i did it and had no prior experience in transmissions. you'll need to find a CA bellhousing which can be sourced from a junkyard out of a 84-88 200sx. this will probably be the hardest part because you need to take the tranny off then take the bellhousing off the tranny all while in this junkyard, unless you just want to pay for the whole transmission and not just the bellhousing and do the rest of the work at home. The FSM has pretty good details about seperating the two, but basically
*remove the screws from gearbox to bellhousing
*use a punch or anything to drive out the 2 metal dowels aligning gearbox and bellhousing
*remove shifter, then remove shifter ball detents on each side
*use a small nail punch or anything that will work to drive out the small pin holding the striking arm(metal peice with hole to put shifter) from the striking rod.
*look in the bellhousing, remove the front cover covering the gearbox components.
*remove both snap rings inside there.
*pull apart!
not too difficult but yes alot of work, but if you have a CA motor and no CA tranny then it is probably your best option, getting a good CA rwd tranny in US will be tough. This and pilot bushings are the main reason i shouldve gone with 5 spd CA over an automatic, but its done, so i dont care

thanks for your info. Yeah i have a ca18det rwd tranny, but the reason i can't use it because my firend had it in his garage and water got in, then u know the rest of the story. i'll read over the fsm again. So with the sensors you just kept your ka's lower harness or u just swapped the plugs didnt you?
