I just noticed a leak in the transmission pan . I let my brother borrow my car and this is what I get any way I was wondering if the SE and GXE have the same size pan? I have a 92 SE auto.
Please let me know,also is it a DIY straight bolts and a new gasket:?

 

I'm not sure but i think they do. If you have the other pan just match them up and see if they are the same. If they are, then it would be a straight DIY job. Just make sure that you put the magnet in the new pan (most of the time there is a magnet in the pan to remove iron particles from the transmission fluid).

Good Luck!

 

i can't answer your question 100% but i've never read of multiple models of automatics for the 3rd gen max. on the bold assumption that the filter is accessed through the pan, i would strongly suggest you replace it as well while you have the pan out.


are you 100% that the pan has cracked? jus seems like a rare thing to have happen versus a gasket leaking..

 

92 SE auto would obviously have a VE tranny and any GXE would come with a VG tranny. From what I've read/heard is that the VE auto is the only tranny thats different from all the others bolt-on-wise. so I dont know know about the pan. Have you tried the JY or eGay?

 

the 92-up DOHC use an RE4F04A transmission, the pan runs about $20 new at the dealer.
There is a replaceable screen that can be accessed when the pan is removed.
the SOHC trans is a totally different animal. not parts interchange that I am aware of.

 

Exactly as Brian said..
the VG auto's 'pan' actually fits on the top of the tranny, and there's no actual pan on the bottom.

the VE does have a pan at the bottom. part number 31390-80X05. Nissanparts.cc lists it at 21.30 new. call your local dealer and they should be able to get you one fairly quickly if they don't have it in stock.

 

JB weld it up jk
