manual swap question

According to a tranny application chart, the manual trannies have the same number (RS5F5OA) for 85-89 maximas. Would the bellhousings be the same?

Any input is appreciated. If they are the same, then it'd be easier to find parts for the conversion.

Yes they are. The clutch kits are the same part # and there was a guy on the 1st/2nd gen forum that installed a 3rd gen tranny on his 86 maxima. You just have to swap the speedo gear if your using a 85-88 tranny. Otherwise it is plug and play.

Very few things are plug and play. Especially when it somes to the Maxima.

So could you use a 85-88 5spd for an 89, and maybe 92-94? Sorry i'm dumb bout this stuff.
