for KA-D (S13 and S14) the transmissions and the bellhousings are the same. The S14 one has 3 position switches (neutral, reverse and 5th gear). The S13 tranny has all those plus an extra one (4th gear one maybe?) and the S13 tranny doesn’t have a crank angle sensor. Other than that, it’s all the same… ---
