I like the ka trans on a lower hp SR, makes for a better drive, more tq in 2nd' and 3rd, easier to power over in drifts (IMO).

As far as diagnosing the trans problem. Is it difficult to put it through the gears with the engine off? If so it is probably the synchro in the trans, and its time to replace.

If its easy to put it through the gears with the engine off, then its something in the clutch system.

Air in line
Slave cylinder
master cylinder
too short of a throw out bearing carrier
backwards throw out bearing

Take it to a different mechanic than your regular and have them asses the clutch situation if the second option sounds more like you. You are not getting enough throw on the clutch assembly, and the input on the trans is still spinning after you depress the pedal.
