will a s chasis ka work with a 96 frontier truck ka? like are the mounts the same, do the bolts line up. pretty much is it a plug n play

lololol.... like there's any difference between a truck motor in a S chassis, and a truck motor in a truck....

i don't know the answer to your question, but some simple things you can do yourself to check is measure from the bellhousing (where it meets the motor) to the bolts in the tranny mounts, and to the bolt holes on the frame.... that should give you a proper length....

i'm 90% sure that the motor and trans in either car are roughly exactly the same, the only thing i can foresee is you might, and MIGHT need to use the crossmember from the frontier.... give it a go, and see what happens...

put a jackstand under the end of the tranny, pull the k member and size it up to the KA/Schassis k member... i'm not sure alot of people on here have experience with the actual truck motor from the truck, and not the truck motor in the S chassis

no i want to put an s chasis tranny in a frontier

i know what you want to do, thats why i was saying, measure out the bolt patterns on either tranny, the bolt patterns on the K members, mount etc... if they're the same, then you in it to win it!

The 240sx transmission is slightly longer requiring shortening of the driveshaft.
If you have a frontier trans let me know, I might buy it from you.

ok this post is not for me. my moms bf has a 96 frontier w/ a tranny that needs to be rebuilt. i was looking at the f/s threads and saw a couple ka trannys for less than it would cost to rebuild his. but its not a direct bolt in, and im not spending any time in trying to have a driveshaft made. thanks for the help. mods delete
