my tranny broke...i have maybe 1/2 gear left...0-20 is 5 minutes...i have a 95 gle which is auto...in the market for 5spd...will all the mechanical part of the 5spd all be the same amongst the 4th gen?? i will be getting the 95/96 ecu with harness...

Yellowbrother

um....anyone?....anybody?...

Ramius83

Yes, if you are talking about converting from auto to 5-speed, it is a "direct" bolt-on pursay, but other stuff (clutch installation, cylinders, etc) require some fabrication.

Yellowbrother

is all 5-spd 4th gen the same???

Craig Mack

yes, as well as i30's

Ramius83

Like I said lol, good luck guy.....

Yellowbrother

i think this came up some time ago...was it not concluded that the starter were the same amongst auto and 5spd 4th gen???

Ramius83

You will need a 5-speed starter, the teeth are slightly different.

No, for a 5 speed VLSD tranny you would need axles specific to the I30t, they are different than the normal 5-speed axles. However I suspect that the 5 speed needs different axles than the auto as well, so it wouldn't really matter, you'd have to buy new axles anyways.

Ramius83

Correct.....

i'm stuck on the first step...i got the intake air box out...i got this three harness i'm looking at...i'm wondering if this is the harness that is being referred to in the instruction...

You have probably seen this but:

Try and get an LSD I30 tranny from your local junkyard.

i'm switching to 5 speed in the summer also but was looking at maxima 5 speed trans...u guys say it's better to get 5 speed trans on an i30 than another 5 speed maxima even though it's the same year? i know they are the same and all (manufacturers infiniti and nissan) but dag, how could that be better than a maxima trans? also, i have a GLE wit the wood grain interior...i know i'm gonna have to probably rip that whole mid section up but how bad is it going to look? anyone have any before and after pics?

Ramius83

No stock 5-speed Maxima has LSD, Limited Slip Differential. On a stock 5-speed, you have an open differential. This means that whenever a wheel looses traction, the power is shifted more to that wheel to get power back to it, so you loose power in the wheel that has traction. An LSD transmission corrects this. On an LSD tranny, whenever a wheel looses traction, some power is taken away from that wheel and sent to the other wheel to get the traction back. You see what I mean? Reply back if you don't. Canada = snow = no traction = need for LSD.

so the stock i30 has LSD? i live in jersey and we get snow sometimes...not as much as u guys but i would rather get i30 if it's better but if it's like 300 dollars more, then i would just get maxima 5 speed...hopefully price isn't too much different right? also what's up with my wood grain? is it going to stay or will i have to rip up the lower part and ehhh...just jake it ugly? i saw the dude's max on the website wit instructions and it looks different afterwards....well, someone holla

actually both 5speed and auto have the same part number meaning they are the same. I used my auto trans starter in my 5 speed ad its fine. You can verify this via Mitchell On Demand or AllData. I forget the years but 1 year starter had xx amount of teeth and the newer years had an extra amount of teeth supposely making it better.

Actually I understand that I30s with the cold weather package come with LSD normal ones do not.

Ramius83

As I am aware of, only some I30s in Canada had them. I do not know why they don't in the US, but you will have to look for one in Canada.
