Hey, i'm back. I've thought about some things and i'm going to start posting again. So, here's my question.
From what i've seen in the search people have asked if the VE tranny will fit on the VG engine. I never really saw an exact answer. Will the tranny just bolt up to the VG and then have the driver side axle changed or what?

 

bump

 

 

hmmmmmm...you tell the forum to basically ****-off in your final post, then you come back to ask a question....yeah reaaaaal smart!

I guess the phrase "search is your friend" suits you well cause its the only one you've got on here!

 

Yeah man..haha.you seriously need to get a new name before you come back

don't get a new name and come back and ask the very same question right away, we'll know it's you!

 

I tell you what.. I've got a blown VE/LSD tranny in a box in the garage. I'll ship it to you.. you see if it fits. if it does, you can either rebuild it (it needs new gears for 2 and 4, new shift forks, and new synchros. about $500 in parts).. OR you can ship it back to me and buy another one somewhere else.

 

i searched. i don't want to waste time getting a new name. i never said **** off i just said i was out of here because i was sick of everyone getting flamed for all of their ideas and questions

 

darn, looks like now i'm not going to get an answer. i knew it.

 

Matt everytime you post your catchy search slogan gets bigger

 

oh yeah, one big reason why i can't find anything on it using search is because we can't search 2 letters. i put something about that on the feedback but got nothing.

 

instead of vg in gxe and for ve put se.. o wait that wont work..lol 2 letters..

 

well, i found something before but they didn't really answer it too clearly. from what i understood they said the looks are prety much the same except for where the lsd is. they said that to put it on the vg you might have to get different axles. i'm just checking if anyone knows if this is true or even possible. btw, i'm asking all of this cause my stupid tranny is dead. the little shaft thing that the throwout bearing goes on cracked and broke the bearing and also shot oil everywhere inside there making my loose all of my tranny fluid and ruining my clutch... there's no material at all on that clutch. i'm having a ***** of a time trying to find a tranny too for this thing. someone on here has one for 225 but it has 170k miles. i need something way less, say 100k or less cause i want it to match the engine i might be getting this weekend (vg30et). anyone have anything? thanks.

 

Here is the deal if you can get a VE tranny to bolt to the VG clutch housing you have LSD. If you can spend some $$ and make it fit. If that doesn't work, spend more money and get a quaiffe LSD. Now if that doesn't work you should be riding a bus.

 

 

What are you laughing at? We know you're up in the front seat of that bus every day

I guess it is a step up from your VG though

 

step up...yeah only cause its on 5cyls...naw, forget that I'll still smoke a bus 5 cylinders....COME ON, BRING IT ON METRO DRIVER!!!!

and BTW I sit in the back so the crazy guy with the crooked toupe(sp?) and bicycle helmet doesn't talk to me about his lint collection!

 

does quaiffe even make them for the 3rd (the lsd's) i thought they were only made for the 4th's and up by quaiffe.

 

well, according to this rebuild site the auto's will interchange between the two engines.

 

I've now got a dead VE w/ LSD..
If you want to buy gears to put in it, I'll make you a deal on the case and LSD. $200+ ship.

 

naw, no thanks. rebuild price will be horrendous. thanks for the offer though.

 

I could tell you but then I would have to kill myself

 

you could tell me...? if it will fit or not?

 

well why dont you go to a parts store or a junk yard and look in the books that say what will fit what and see if they bolt up. that would be the simplest way to know.

 

Quaiffe doesn't make an LSD for a VG, at least two months ago they didn't. Custom install is the only way..I priced this from a place on the web...Protech quoted 699+labor. They can do many many things while the are in there to beef it up, as long as you can afford it.
By the way, I am looking for a VG trans and found about a dozen or so ranging from 125 to 800 bucks. Try searching man. I can get a rebuildable core, no broken parts, just high miles and probably bad synchros for 100 bucks. On second thought, disregard what I just said, you might snacht up the one I was gonna buy!

 

how did you find them so cheap?!?!? i've even looked into the salvage yard pools that have over 1200 salvage yards in their network and i only found 5 for my year all of which were 500 and up with 100 for shipping and up.

 

to be honest the tranny should fit. however the gear ratios's for a VE trany man be different than those of a VG. as far as the Quaffe is concearned they make them for the RS5F5OA tranny wich is what is in the VG 3rd gen manual, some VE 3rd gen manual, VQ 4th gen manual and the VQ 3rd gen altima manual. it is not listed for the 3rd gen because it was never tested in a 3rd gen vehicle. the Cattman site does list the part being available for RS5F5OA tranny code.

 

That is true all maxima's from 85-01 used the same 5spd tranny model. Now I know the oem vlsd won't fit because it fits on the opposite side of the differential. The quaiffe on the other hand replaces the stock diff and should fit. However my cheap **** would've tried Matt's blown VE tranny before getting a quaiffe.

 

the only problem i have with buying matt's tranny is that the rebuilt would cost more than i want to spend. just to fix mine, they said it would be 900 dollars. i just want to find a pretty low mileage tranny for anywhere to 300 dollars.

 

$300 for a low mileage tranny? i wish i could find one. anybody have a 5-spd 3rd gen transmission? i'll buy...

 

there's got to be a good deal out there some where. i just need to find it, and that's really difficult.

 

Well I solved that problem anyway.. the shop kept my old one as a core, when I asked htem to keep it for me. there was another one about 2 hours from here with 25k on the internals and a broken case for cheap.. I was going to take the two broken ones and make one good one out of it, but since I don't even have my shattered gears as a momento.........
