Anybody know? I'll dig deeper into this when I get home, but I'm reading online that those trannies are far stronger than ours.. input from Asleep, Slow01, 98alti, Jserrano, anybody else?
Sentra B15 transmission = fit us?

The case does not bolt up to the KA motor is the problem.
We can shot peen and cryo treat them for $500.
We wouldn't say that you could not use that tranny on your motor, but you would be deep in involvement with the project and having an adaptor plate as well as a custom clutch kit and axles made.

Well, I looked at the breakdowns and although they don't really illustrate it that well I don't think the guts from a 6 speed will fit in a KA case. You might be best sending yours away to be shot peened and cryo treated. If you happen to find a used B15 6 speed in a junkyard though for a couple hundred bucks it might be worth it to crack them both and get a better look.

no, using this tranny will be a pain in the ass. i mean its possible ,but like that guy said, its gonna require custom clutch (cus thats changing location) and axles (cus the transmission will be shaped a little different, may need diff length/splines on either end) as well as the adapter (to bolt it up to the motor).
in essence: **** that. if i blow my tranny, ill send it in for cryo/shotpeen. if i blow that one, ill look into having a full one built.

well im having controversy between the power im making (check my blueprint for guessimated whp) and my gear ratios... i would like too get the most outta my power thru my gears without going custom and dropping franklins all over.. basically in my mind set.. possibily gti-r tranny? or a 00-01 tranny with possibly 93-94 last gear or sumthing of this sort...

i appreciate the courtesy but this thread's done really. tranny wont work w/o more work than i want to do at this point. ive already custom fabbed/hammered/bled enough on this damn thing. i can take out a tranny in 2 hours so if i have to blow a few between now and when i have one built, **** it.

Ya, I'm at the same point. It's really not that hard to put the trans on the floor in these cars.

For what it's worth....I do remember (i believe it was redlion) said you could use the sentra 6 spd as long as you used a different bellhousing.

right, which means altering the clutch, axles, and an adapter. possible, and probably not TOO bad.. but more than i want to deal with. its going to be easier to just have a tranny built and keep the crap native than it is to do that.

The thing is on our tranny's the bell is cast into the case half so you can't just switch bells like you can on some other trannys. So like eclypse said you gotta make an adapter, possibly get a longer input shaft, custom axles and clutch kit. Too much work for most...

im gonna blow this one while disassembling my only LSD tranny. ill build it up with cryo/shotpeen and a WPC style treatment (or anything else similar that helps it retain oil), and weld up that spot they showed was weak. when this one blows ill do a real one like Jose's built.

if you do a 93-94 tranny, the crank position sensor is NOT on that tranny, just forewarning. im not sure what that'll invoke the factory ECU to do. AEM EMS didnt care, but i didnt know that. i spent 3 days figuring that one out
