help!!

im new, so im sorry if this question has been already been asked somewhere... and if it has i didnt find it... and ive searched online, also with no luck.

ka24e motor with and sr20 trans.... it works.. after you switch out the bellhousings.. so the problem is there are 3 sensors on a ka24e trans... while there are only 2 on the sr20... my question is... which 2 sensors do i need, and where should they go? and if i need all 3...what should i do?

the car runs without the sensors in... but it would be nice to have reverse lights and perhaps a first gear gate...

sorry again if this has been covered somewhere and i didnt find it.

i think you just answered your own question:
"but it would be nice to have reverse lights and perhaps a first gear gate..." those sensors should be the ones you use.

[Gir16a6]

maybe so.... but i dont want to screw anything up if i need all 3 of the sensors.... and im not sure what goes where, and havent been able to find any diagrams to help.

[Greenblurr93]

well, your reverse light sensor i think is a must.... and think of it this way, unless all 3 sensors are tied into the same system, using only 2 shouldnt affect anything (2 is better than none)

[Gir16a6]

would i possibly be able to splice two of the sensors together? i suggested that to my boyfriend and he wasnt sure either...i dont want to just screw them in and see what happens, unless there isnt any other possible way. id rather find out how to do it right the first time, rather than run the risk of screwing something up. we just put a rebuilt ka24e in this week, after swapping the tranny about 2 months ago.

after all the drama and problems we went through in finding another engine.....id rather not screw up by misplacing the tranny sensors.

[Greenblurr93]

dont splice two sensors together..... if they each monitor different things, you will royally F*** something Up... i personally think it wouldnt mess anything up to put in the reverse sensor (as long as its in the correct place)

[Gir16a6]

thats one of my problems though... im not sure which sensor is which... or where they should go.

i havent been able to find anything online to give me any answers and im about to pull my teeth out in frustration.

[Greenblurr93]

ahh.. it gets clearer.... ill try and do some research and get back to you.

[Greenblurr93]

i need the years of both the engine and tranny.

[Gir16a6]

ive been searching for a few days now and havent made any progress.... hopefully youll have better luck than me. thanks for taking the time to actually help me instead of just blowing me off b/c im a female with a dumb question. lol.

[Greenblurr93]

this isnt a dumb question, and thats why this forum is here, for help. and sex has nothing to do with the desire to want to help people.

[Gir16a6]

engine is a 90... tranny is a 93.

[Gir16a6]

im just used to people treating me like i dont know anything when i go places to find parts b/c im female.

i get looks like im a strange species of plant. :/

[Greenblurr93]

i assuming its a 5 speed??

[Gir16a6]

of course.
