6 speed l18

when i first picked up my 510 it had a l18 in it and a 5 speed out of a truck. the 5 speed is making some noise so i have been kicking around the idea of a different trans when a 6 speed poped up on craigslist. its for the sr20det out of a s15 but says it will fit a s13. one guy i talked to said the ka trans will bolt to a l-series so maby the s15 6 speed would bolt to a l18..... has anyone tried this or know if it would work?

just pick up another L series 5 speed.

 

anything can work with endless amounts of time and money.

 

but thats not nearly close to bolt in.....

k thats what i thought! 6 speed would be really nice if it was bolt in but sounds like the 5 speed is staying!

Not to mention you need a s15 clutch and fly wheel to use the 6 speed the sr fly wheel is a 6 bolt l18 is five in less you have the comp crank witch is a 6 bolt

I don't think the transmission cares what drives it, whether a 5 or 6 bolt flywheel or a 200, 225 or 240mm pressure plate. What is important the the clutch disc splines fit the input shaft, the input shaft fits into the pilot bushing and the release bearing and collar properly disengages the clutch.

 

If the SR is very close to the KA then it would suffer the same L vs. Z series engine/transmission tilt anyway, making the shifter lean over into the passenger seat. This doesn't even begin to mention the transmission length differences.

 

Six speed would make me wet though.
