My poor old sr s13 tranny is almost gone, so i did the research but all topics came up for a kade not a single cam motor.So what i was wondering is how hard is the bell housing swap and has any body done it on zilvia. Pics would be great but i really need advise.

All KAs and SRs and VQs have the same tranny, just swap out the bell housing.

Its like 8 bolts?

Its a little harder than that but very easy in general .

grab a 240sx chiltons manual or fsm, (USDM) should have a section on tranny rebuilding etc, and will describe how to remove the bell housing for the fs5 trannys.

ah I tried taking apart a tranny one day (ka) Couldt figure out how to remove the bellhousing. My friend told me he just used the whole ka tranny, he told me like 1 of the holes don't match up, but its a alot less stressful than removing the bell housing. I'm not sure how the starter lined up though?

unbolt front cover bolts and remove.

Unbolt center bolts.

Remove bellhousing.

Reverse using RTV to seal the center and front cover. This takes 2-3 people. 1 controlling the tail section and not alowing the exposed gears to hit the ground.
