200sx Transmission Qustion

[ser240z]

Will a CA18et trans bolt into a 610 for a swap? I have a CA18det and I need a trans. I found a 85 200sx turbo trans, and rather than swap the bellhousing to a KA, will it just bolt in whole? Then I don't need to buy two transmissions to make one.

 

Thanks

Please move this if it's in the wrong section.

I have a 710 (other than body and rear suspension, they're basically the same car) and plan to run a CA18ET 5 speed with L bell so this had better work. :D

 

 

The 610 uses a 4 speed that is roughly the same length as the '85 5 speed so you shouldn't have to shorten the driveshaft. However the tranny mount will not be the same so there will be some modding to do here. I checked last summer and CA18ET and DET are more or less the same block so an ET 5 speed will fit the DET motor. The CA speedo cable may have a different end and not connect up to the speedometer. The old style (610) were a screw on. Some of the later ones were a clip on. If it doesn't fit use one from a 620 or 280z/zx. The 610 one will work, but may be too short for the CA tranny bcause the speedo drive is now on the right side.

Thanks for the help.

 

Any suggestions or help on the mount? I'm not sure what the guys that are doing swaps are doing with the trans mount.

 

Thanks

well if its anything like a ka trans you should be able to use the original x member and mount just moved to the rearmost holes this is what compression did on his 610 his came with a 4 speed stock im not sure if you have an auto or not or if the x members are different or not i havent played with an auto 610
