will ve 5spd axels fit on my vg hubs?
Ok, so im doing a 5 speed swap real soon, (a few more parts left).
-hoping to somehow find a lsd tranny from a ve,i was wondering if the axels that go with that tranny will work on my vg hubs?
also, I herd the hardest part is mounting the new pedals... does anyone have a pic of the mounted clutch and brake? or any info what they did down there.
thanx in advance

-yes 92-94 SEs used different hubs
-no there was no lsd from 89-91 (no VG had lsd)
I've talked about this like a hundred times but..... if you want a VE tranny on your VG motor, you will need the VE trans, axles and spindles. You will also need to splice the two DIFFERENT speed sensor harnesses together (only a few wires, not that hard if your handy with a soldering iron)

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....
damn.... i wanted that lsd so bad too, i guess im just going to hafta deal with a vg tranny.
-how are the spindles held on?..... just by the axel bolt?? and then the wheel bering is under that..right

-The spindles are held on by the two bolts on the strut (top), and the three bolts of the ball joint (bottom).
-The axle bolt would have to be removed to get the spidle off if thats what you are asking.... but no it doesnt hold it on.
-The wheel bearing is under the axle bolt? If by "under" you mean "behind" then yeah......

chris you need a parts car, ve, vg whatever, but a complete car you can take everything off of. there are way to many little things you will pay out the a$$ for if you dont do that. drive around to some junk yards and find one that was a manual tranny, and ask the guy what you can work out.
#10
CHris, I have a 90 SE 5 spd white on black leather that woudl be a perfect parts car for you. I'm located in central MA. Everything works on it, it needs a brake line now.....its off the road, and just taking up space in my driveway. Let me know if you're interested. ...Gary

The VE axles are about 0.1" larger diameter than the VG axles. you can't mix axles, hubs, etc between cars, but you can swap them all over.
In fact, swapping spindles from a VE will be easier than the tranny itself, so I don't know why you're whining about it. it's 9 screws total. 2 for the brake caliper, 2 for the strut, 1 for the tie rod, 3 for the ball joint and 1 for the axle.

matt is right. i was going to do this swap, too, when my tranny went out. and i discovered the reality of it. the entire driveline must be replaced. i cannot keep any VG stuff. hubs, spindles, half-shafts all must be from the VE to have the LSD.
i needed the car asap, and a friend did the work for an incredibly cheap price, so i just had the original tranny rebuilt only.
but next time.....

- what about mounts?! must i get all VE tranny mounts too?

-master and slave cyl... (i already have) from a vg.
i went down to junkyard and they guy told me he cant sell me that one VE 5spd but i can take any part i want off it.... i said " ok, ill take every single part" he looked at me like i was drunk... then he said i can have any part i need for my tranny swap for 500 bucks. but the car has to stay in there lot...
damn u VE lsd tranny ddaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmnnn yyyyyyooooooouuuuu

just tell the guy from thew junk yard to cut the nose off the ve, from the pilars forward, this way you have everything you need, and tell him to keep the sheetmetal, this way he doesnt charge you more.

-oh snap, i need a spell check installed in my brain....
-front clip.. hmm.. sounds interesting, more expensive though.. When I can just give him the 500 and pull every part i need.
-Maybe I can negotiate with him.

hey chris...sorrry i'm taking so long w/ getting those pedals and **** to ya....been busy w/ the 240 trying to get it running and everything, but I didn't forget about you. I wrote myself a note to get my lazy a$$ out there and get the brake pedal assembly out. Anyone have any tips on how to get the pedal assembly out? I already have the clutch pedal assembly out, just need help on the brake pedal.

Saw a VE powered max in my favorite junkyard last weekend with lsd auto & have been thinking about doing the swap. Now I know it can be done - even though there's a whole heap of work involved, I'll plan it out first so that when my VG tranny eventually dies, I can get it done in one weekend. I can get the whole lot for under NZ$400!
![GrinNo](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/grin_no.gif)
We didn't get the VE powered max's in NZ, so am unsure of how good the auto tranny is. It's a RE4F04V - does anyone have any major complaints with this tranny? (other than it being an auto...)

im going to the junk yard tomorrow and pull some parts... what should get
-spindles
-axels
-2 mounts, the rear mount and the drivers side,(do i need another?)
*thinking about getting the entire shiffting assembly,
ill only take these parts if he gives me a good price. ill worry about the tranny later.

an auto radiator has a tranny fluid cooler in it and a 5 speed radiator doesnt. you can use an auto radiator with 5 speed though just take the tranny lines off and drain the tranny cooler then put caps over it. my old 88 5 speed max had an auto radiator in it and drove fine i never changed it so id imagiane if it didnt go bad the guy who bought it sitll has it in there.......
