I'm planning to rebuilt tranny, my car is in good shape and I'm definitively planning to keep it long term. So my next project is to rebuilt tranny. I want to do it myself cuz I don't trust to many Machanic. So it's there anything that can guide me thur this process. Like a video,book?

I remember I found a file in the forum that contain everything from electric to motor to body info. Looks like a Machanic handbook. Thanks anything would help

 

I'm not positive, but I know for a fact there is a book from Nissan that is specifically about the AUTO transmission. I wonder if there isn't a 5SPD edition.

the file you found in the forum is the Field Service Manual (FSM) that's something you should have downloaded. just go find it again and don't ask anyone here to post it

 

so you don't trust the mechanics...but you trust yourself while you don't know what you're doing and need a manual to walk you through?

why can't you find a mechanic you trust?

you'll need tools like a press, bearing splitter, feeler gauges. from what i see the worse part is setting the reload on the input shaft bearing (shim sizing) that seems to go on all these 5spd.

even if you're able to put everything together if you misaligned something you won't be able to shift through the gears and you'll have to tear it down again.

i believe you're talking about the FSM (factory service manual). you can find it...just google it. as the admin i can't post copyrighted materials on this forum but i can tell you it's REAL easy to find it. if you need to search the forum i'm sure you can find the link.

also if you post the link and i see it your post will be edited.

 

Thanks guys for your input

 

Just finished installing the new driver side axle. That was not the problem I still feel the grinding noise. It's definitely the tranny smh.

 

ive rebuilt transmissions before. as Danny said you need special tools, its tedious, and if you **** up you dont know until its all stitched together and have to remove it ALL over again

i wont even rebuild my own transmissions myself, i send them to a specialist. we do the same at work, remove the trans, send it out to be rebuilt, then reinstall it. transmission rebuilding is a specialty thing
