Hi,

Id like to rebuilt my tranny on a 96 maxima 5 spds.

I KNOW that motorvate.ca explain in details what i should do, but I want the exact list parts I need AND where I could find it(shipping only, im from ca).

In fact I guess taht we need

-2 bearing, 1 small and 1 bigger
-seals
-shims(what is that exactly?)

Thanks for your help

 

if you dont know what shims is I STRONGLY suggest you do NOT attempt this.

 

mmm, ok , but actually im french, i dont know every english words.

Oh, i'll do NOT rebuilt this myself, i can easly remove my tranny , get parts and my mecanic will take care of the rest

 

Your mechanic most likely won't even rebuild it. He will outsource it to a dedicated transmission shop. Most regular mechanic shops won't dare open a transmission up, they'll just take it out of the car and take it to a shop that does them all day every day.

 

Better off buying a used trans and throwing it in. I had mine rebuilt and it locked up 3 times on me, now six months later my drivers side axle seal is leaking really really bad.

 

If you do like the guy on motorvate.ca, it should be ok. At the lastest update he said that he makes about 80 000 miles with his own rebuilt...

 

Motorvate's rebuild only involves changing the diff bearings. There is a very good chance that the input shaft bearings and mainshaft bearings also need changed.

why would you not replace all the bearing while the transmission is open?? I believe a bearing kit is somewhere around the $150-250 range. You might even want to replace the bearings and synchros($250-350)...
