Just doing some research on alternate engine/transmission combinations when I came across this. Seems like a good deal

what is their quality like?
do they cover labor when it blows?
do you really want to do labor more than once on a trans?

 

No idea, just saw it online
12 month, 12,000 mile waranty no labor covered under warranty
I don't even want to do labor once on a trans, let along twice :-)

 

Thats definitly a good deal, the only problem is rebuilt trans have a reputation for failing within a shortish period of time. They basically just replace wat went bad and leave everything else, so you could have new solenoids, etc, and "rebuilt" torque convertor but everything else is stil 20 yrs old and comes with wear and tear.

 

They don't just 'leave everything else'. A rebuild consists of all seals and gaskets, new clutch plates, depending on the kit/shop new steelies and/or thrust washers, and any hard parts as necessary, also usually including any updated parts available for the trans. For example, new sun gear reaction shells on some GM trans's, updated thrust washers, etc.

 

you have obviously not sold to these "budget" shops.
I've had them walk in for 1 friction plate because the rest were reusable in their opinion.

 

is there a auto trans with litmited slip???

i know that one has the filter on top and one on botom...



my 92 ve auto has it on the bottem. which is which??? which is better?

 

If it has a VE it has VLSD.

We know that these Nissan automatics can be problematic to begin with, so there's too much importance placed on the quality of the rebuild, parts, etc. And if you need work done under warranty, what kind of hassle would it be? I'd noticed that there was a seller on Ebay that offers a rebuilt for about the same price, and I would think that should be avoided for the same reason. In this case, I think its worth the extra $ to find a local Cottman or other reputable shop and get it done right.

I had Cottman do my GXE's tranny almost 3 years ago, and I noticed that when I and the GXE were finally reunited yesterday, the thing ran as tight as when first drove it out of the shop. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.

And BTW, I know I'm repeating myself, but: never never never buy a used tranny from a junkyard. Chances are, it will be a P.O.S.!

 

i thought so, VLSD


but is the whole auto tranny diff for the lsd???

 

the VE got a different trans than the VG did.
the VE came standard with VLSD (both A/t and M/t)
VE trans is rated at 2x the torque capacity of the VG trans assuming I'm reading the trans codes right.

 

rebuild != reman

 

ok thats good, im glad i got the VE auto tranny, even though auto sucks

 

i found a former nissan tech working at a private shop i was getting an inspection done at. i got my own tranny rebuilt for $450 because i dropped it and brought it in to him myself. two years later and it runs great not to brag or anything

 

pfff I got mine for $800 installed with 12/12,000 warranty, but thats not a bad deal.

 

I never needed one. :P
