My tranny code is 5s5f5ov

 

v at the end = VLSD

 

Just wonderin because i had it jacked up. And put it in 1st gear.

Spun the drivers wheel, and the passenger wheel spun the opposite way.
Bad lsd>?

Didn't try it in nuetral... Too late to check the axles where pulled earlier.

 

did you look at the inboard side of the axles? they have 2 sets of splines on a VLSD model.
oh and the trans code should be RS5F50V

 

I quess it is.

I looked at the drivers side axle. It has 2 sets of splines. The passenger has one.

 

is yours not the original tranny? what's the word on the input shaft bearing replacement? are you making the plunge or was it jacked up for some other reason?

 

I was going to replace it. But Really wanted LSD for a while.

So my options were to

A. Buy a bearing and a new vg axle. No lsd.

B. Buy a VE parts car. Swap it all over. Enjoy nailing those corners with a little more confidence.

I didn't realize till I saw it, but those VE are really beefy.

I hope this tranny is in good shape, the lady that had it said it was fine(Doesn't mean anything).

 

hey. just wondering where i would find this tranny code.. id like to know if mine has a vlsd as well... also, anyone know if these cars came with a block heater? / where the plug would be? im stumped

 

look on the center of the firewall for a plate that has the engine code and trans code.
don't know if canada had a standard block heater or not.

 

In any of the northern states and Canada you could buy an optional block heater from Nissan back in the day.. where it is exactly, I can't tell you.. but usually they would be poked into a freeze plug on the block and would have a wire hanging out of it. so look around on your block for a wire sticking out of a freeze plug.



As for the limited slip...
When you had it in 1st gear and turned the tranny, how hard was it to turn the wheels? if it turned easily- i.e. with one arm, then you don't have LSD- or it's dead.
If it took both arms to turn it, then you have LSD. IIRC the breakaway torque on the VE tranny is somewhere around 40-50ft.lb.

 

Took 2 hands.


BTW, is the lsd is bad, where can i get a new one?

 

dealer. 7890

 

what happens if you turn one wheel and the other does'nt at all in netural. and in 1st both turn is this indicating a bad differential.

 

Grammar owned you. I'm still confused...

 

my bad rushing

But like i was saying i was in the garage today and i noticed that when i turn one of the wheels is the other suppose to turn the opposite dirrection on a non vsld tranny while in netural. because it did nothing. i was wondering is it a bad diffential or somthing.

ps: but if the tranny is in gear they both turn

 

has anyone ever replace the input shaft bearing. im on my second tranny and i stripped the internals out of the 1st tranny i was considering replacing the bearing on my spare input shaft bearing

 

I'm about to, I'm told you need to remove all the gears and have it pressed out and the new one pressed in.

 

interesting approach.. but seriously, just get that remaining inner ring off, press the new bearing on and reassemble and you should be good as long as you put it all back together correctly.. gl.
