it's not possible until someone comes up with a plate for a K to b tranny but i wil highly doubt that will ever happen as the K tranny is good as itself. Also usually a k swap comes with a tranny. It's hard to find those ones that don't have a tranny.

thanks for the replies. my conclusion based on what you all have said is it would be too exspensive for someone to make a plate due to the lack of economies of scale with regards to the demand for this product because most k series swaps come complete with a crap tranny.

If you're getting a k20a<u> </u>, you'll get LSD anyways. You should be able to make a good deal off your diff. In fact, how much for the whole tranny?

More work then its worth and probably end up costing more $ then just buying a K-series tranny. The tranny is "technically" spinning the opposite direction too. That's might cause a reliability/longevity issue.

if it were at all possible, you may end up with one forward gear and five reverse gears

umm, no! the DC5 trans is great, plus the little facts like the K20 is a bigger engine, it has a different spline input shaft, the B-series is 5 spd with taller gears, plus the most important fact is that the two motors are mounted 180 deg and the B would spin backwards.

so stick with the rsx / si trans
