Tranny blew up
 

I was wondering if there are any other trannies for the 89 sohc S13. I was doing donuts today, and the bell housing on the tranny blew apart into many little pieces. I don't know why, but it did. Now i need a new tranny. and 89 SOHC MT trannies are not easy to come by around here. so if there is another car i can cross referrence, I would like some input. thanks.

Try www.car-parts.com they have a good search engine.

Damn that is some crazy damage.

90's should be the same as well...i'm pretty sure that the ka24de tranny will work too. only difference is the clutch as far as i know.

wow... that blows... i like doing donuts when its raining... but with my boys camry... this will definitly make me think twice .... thanks for the info.. but yo there is a guy here selling his tranny for $200 shipping is gonna be a ***** ...we in ny

You're stuck with the sohc tranny. The dohc and sohc have the same internals, but different housings. Sorry to see your tranny blew by the way:tear:

I figured out what happened. One of the bolts on the clutch plate snapped, and the clutch plate bent, when one of the little clips bent, it started hitting everything, and the the bell housing, flywheel, spline shaft, thowout bearing, and basically everything withing the bell housing and that touches the flewheel shattered. i have some pics. here we go

THis is what its suppose to look like. I picked this up for $200 from a friend who is the mechanic for in import performance shop by me.

Here is the spline drive and the throwout bearing still in the engine with the clutch plate and clutch disc

in the upper left corner here, you can see the part on the clutch plate that bent and hit everything in the housing.

the clutch plate broke in 3 places on the inside plate.

mmm very tasty
