another update, KA>SR tranny conversion is now complete, and i have REVERSE now woot woot... now i can back that thang up when i spin out into the infield drifting, cause i spin out A LOT.... i'll let the pics and captions do the rest of the talking....

the beginning, bust SR trans with no reverse....

got the shift fork, bearing, and "back plate" (i dunno what that plate is called), and removed the C clips, which was a pain in the ASS...

SR bell housing is off and old gear box sitting to the side, bell housing ready for the ready for the KA gear box...

B&M baller status.....

KA tranny from the black car, ready for transplant...

FINISHED!!!! had a few problems with some rods on the inside and getting them to line up, so i just stood the tranny up on it's bellhousing on some bricks, and twisted the gear box around and it dropped right in place... wasn't too bad...

got the "back plate" and bearing and shift for in.... used bearing though, will be replacing with a new OEM unit... also swapped the little slave cylinder thing off the KA bell housing and swapped it on the SR as it was in near perfect shape and the SR unit was kinda shot...

AND i now have a full lower harness for my tranny, and all sensors, so AWESOMESAUCE... it's the little things guys, the little things...

call me pig pen, with my messy work area....

this one speaks for itself.... no more double parking, pull through parking spots, or parking way out in the back of a parking lost cause i can't back up with out flintstoning it...


well that's it for now guys, just waiting on the clutch, fidanza friction plate, and the the motor, and i'm almost ready for the install....

it was a greddy, fixed with JB weld... hold boost, tested it, just looks like ****...

now for the gold, or shall i say pink.... ballers only.....

Neon pink SR tranny FTMFW!!!!!!!




don;t hate cause you didn't think of it first.... neon *****es...... neon....

if anyone ever works on my car but me, when it goes up the lift/over the pit, the tech/mechanic is gonna ge like WTF?!?!?!?

so being the person that i am, always rushing ****, when i attached the SR bell housing to the KA trans, i moved one of the gear selector "rods" and so the only gears i had were 5th and reverse.... UGH.... so i tore it all back down, used the old SR gear box to figure it out (who cares if i **** that one up).... turns out there's three gear selector "rods" and they each have three settings.. in, middle, out.. i figured, after some "rod" moving, that if there's the wrong combination, it wouldn't go into a particular gear... put them all in "middle" and boo yah, all gears shift smoothly.... just a thought for any of you doing the same thing, and think you screwed up.... just a tip!!!!

i even checked the SR gear box to see if thats why reverse didn't work in it... nope, somthing else is ****ed up with that...

now i have to repaint the damn tranny... cause now it has greasy hand and finger prints all over it... DO WORK!!!
