So i recently picked up a drop in rb20 swap, motor was shown nice and healthy being run and everything before it was pulled. Well i was told the trans had some trouble shifting into 1/2 and figured it needed a new set of syncros. Well upon pulling it apart i found that one of the shift arms is broken and one of the smaller gears(Not syncro) are broken in multiple pieces. Is this trans pretty much a paperweight at this point? Also the motor did not come with power steering as it was deleted as soon as the PO bought it. I read that you can use the ka24de hicas pump, would i need to use the power steering bracket from the rb aswell? Or can i use the ka one? What are my options for power steering?

Thanks for the help,
Dakota

RB20 trans is pretty much a KA trans...I $100-200 tops.

As far as powersteering, I'm using my KA DOHC pump after modding the PS bracket on my RB25.

Well the guy thinks he has gold and wont budge from his 400$ asking price. Is there any alternatives? does anyone have an extra parts trans i could get parts off of?

you can use the bell housing from your rb on a ka trans, i think the shifter sits a little further back though

I did read that, but the only thing i had a problem with is then i need a custom drive shaft and to hack apart my car. I really wish someone had the measurements on the guts or a rb trans and an ka trans guts side by side. Im planning on stuffing the ka components into my rb bellhousing and tail end housing if i can.
