Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has ever tried or knows for a fact if the S15 SR20DET 6spd transmission bolts on to the S13 blacktop SR20DET ?
It might because the block is the same or no the block is different at where the bellhousing mates the block ? I have no idea I’ve searched but did not find any definate answers
Are these transmissions available in Canada from importers ?
I’ve heard that it does bolt on but you will need the S15 helical lsd and output shafts. I think this is cause the speed sensor is on the diff so it will also require some custom wiring.
These trannys are really expensive though. I saw one on zilvia for $800usd. And sure the tranny is weaker since there are six gears in the same space as a 5spd but not many people on this board would approach the limit of the 5 or 6 speed.
they are weaker since the gears are thinner most people swap from 6 speed to 5 in japan who have s15s with higher power, also you need the entire rear end pumpkin and all including the driveshaft and then you have to wire it in a figure it out.
i’ve actually heard of a way to hook up a r33 rb25det transmission, which apparently doesnt have the manual cable in the trans to a r32/a31. This may work for a s13 also.
You somehow take a reading from the ABS sensor in one of the wheels.
hmm… i think i’ll be on the lookout for a s15 6spd, i’ll just get a lightweight driveshaft made while im at it, i need one anyway, im not looking to make maddddddd power so if it can hold for the stock s15 sr it’ll hold for mine, anything else anyone ?
actually the gear ratios on the 6 speed are exacally the same except for 6th so all you will gain is better gas mileage and lack of short shifter avliability.
so basically he is doing to alot of work and money to have a weak tranny and better gas mileage.
