just wondering what year manual trannies would bolt up to 91 maxima VE motor?

i think i remember my nissan mechanic friend say that nissan has used the manual tranny i pulled out of my 96 maxima for a long time???

i have a 2001 manual tranny in my 4th gen 96 max

a buddy of mine just had his tranny go out in his 91 maxima 5 speed
i am trying to locate a manual tranny for him on car-part.com

any help would be appreciated. thanks

jamie

 

Hi Jamie,

on the 91 maxima it a vg motor not a ve motor,

the ve is on the 92-94 se car not the 89-91 se,

 

Doesnt matter, the VE and VG's share the same bell housing bolt pattern.

The VE and VQ do NOT share the same bolt pattern. Sorry

 

ill second that....however ill also add that the 2003 6speed tranny is sooooooooo nice like night and day compared to my measly 5speed ve i cant wait till i find the one i want....

 

traitor

 

i posted some pictures a while back showing the differences in the bell housing. the link should be up somewhere in the stickies.

 

you act like im getting rid of my VE. my brother wants it so its not going anywhere. NOT AFTER ALL THAT WORK !! if you had the funds to get a 2003 6speed max se would you ?? in silver, black leather, sunroof, full power, TE edition, BOSE ect ect ect.....im psyched about this car the 3.5 is so smooth and there are way more aftermarket goodies to be had with a 5th gen. So im not leaving the board or the maxima family plus it may take a year before i find the one i want.....until then ill keep moddin the VE.....

 

heh, if i had the funds to get a 03 i'd throw it all in my 3rd gen and Z

 

same here

id have the fastest, smoothest shifting RWD 3rd gen ever

 

hey everyone likes what they like. I LOVE THE 3rd and 5.5 gens. So if its ok to have a 3rd gen why cant i have a 5.5 gen too ? besides the 3rd gen needs a repaint, new leather still need 2 more gauges for the gauge pod and im limited on aftermarket goodies. the 5.5 gen will have lower miles great interior, bigger motor, and more aftermarket following, plus i love the TE editions ever sice i got my VE i wanted a 5th gen but couldnt afford it.

 

5th gen has a beam, smaller interior, and wont handle aswell. However there are alot of really sweet little features you dont really notice at first.

I was just giving you crap anyway. I like the 5th gens (hence why I convinced my Dad to buy one a almost 2 years ago (7/31 ).

Although if I had the funds to buy one right now I wouldn't, I'd rather put the money towards buying a house. I've kinda learned that for the most part cars are just money pits that you wont get your money out of, so really my 3rd gen is staying with me for the long haul. (I'm starting to notice a trend here, first it was computers, now its cars lol).

anywho thats way OT and I appologize

 

I agree with shawn in part.

If you have a family I think it's important to have one new or nearly new vehicle that you think is safe and can get you around in the type of bad weather you may experience for where you live. (So if you live in Miami, you don't really need a 4wd, but if you live in Fairbanks, you shouldn't go buy a new Mustang as your family car, IMO).

However, for a second car, I have the 3rd gen. I could afford payments on a cheaper new car, but then I would have no money for mods. Every time I fix my car or put on some mods, I think about a car payment that I am not making. Besides my car is faster and more comfortable than a new Civic, Sentra, Focus or Neon (except the SRT-4) and I think my car is still pretty dependable.

Sorry, I guess I strayed OT, too, but I think in like the 4th post it was established that the tranny doesn't work...chris

 

hold the phone a minute i though only the 4th gens have the beam suspension the 5th gens have it too ? even the 2003 ? hummm not to sure i like that......damn its always gotta be somethin.....

EDIT : did research on suspension and it is a beam in the back all well nothing aftermarket parts cant correct

 

you like cutting and welding?
that's what you'll have to do to get an IRS under there.
I'd rather VQ the third gen

 

So are you saying that a VE tranny will mount to a VG motor?

 

sounds like it.

 

yessssssssssssssssss where have you been for all the threads about this its been brought up over 10 times in the last 6 months

 

they dont even have a FSB avaliable to them.



I just gotta give you a hard time

btw, w00t! for 6000th post
