Ive never even considered this swap. very interesting good luck with it man.
Very nice sig photo btw.

 

quick question


the fidanza has front and rear dowl pin holes for the crank pin

im gonna assume i use the Front hole?

eather FWD, or for front crank sensor location..... ?????

 

Front, for FWD.

 

dang my tranny is missing 6th. im so glad i ran across this thread. so did you pay 660 brand new for the tranny? this will be my next mod. i must have a full working tranny.

 

thanks

i was assuming and was right WHOOOOHOOO

 

How bad is the rear camber, or the rear fender rot? The tool-kit hasn't got run over yet has it?

 

its not a bran new tranny.

 

found one here for like $570 used. guess im next in line to try it out soon

 

I've seen people find them for as little as 450 shipped, might want to look around a little more.

 

thats for sure thats pretty good for me not going out of state or town. direct pickup, non shipping ftw. nice setup u got there by the way.

 

Thanks, I'm trading the 19s for some 350z track (18" rays) wheels this weekend!

 

thats wassup. so this tranny is a direct bolt up. i sure hope so cuz im gonna go yank one from the yard next month. i miss having 6th gear

 

a sentra tranny or max???

mileage is something to consider

myne had 33k, which compared to my 167k on the original, is a big deal

 

the sentra ser tranny 04-06. one was like 77k miles compared to my 108k miles

 

update!!!


oilpan, rear main, flywheel, clutch is all good, and ready to go.

the transmission has been my biggest pain so far, if i knew it was the annoying i would of just got a maxima tranny.

i just got a bran new housing in.

now the hard part, moving all the gears, shafts, forks, over to the new housing.
i started with my old one, just seeing if i could do it. and right off the bat i knew this isent for me. its a royal pain in the *** and something i dont want to **** up.

so now, what do i do??? take to a transmission shop and get them to switch everything??? how many shops have even opened a nissan 6 speed?? around burlington nc prolly none.

anyone know how? i will pay gas , and you, to come help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im trying my hardest to have this done in 4 days.


everything is ready for the tranny to be reinstalled

 

post in your regional forums and see if anybody is willing to do the work for/with you.. either that or have it towed to a shop.. a competent tranny shop should be able to figure out what they are doing with that transmission

 

just called a transmission shop, they said sence i got a new housing, its possible i will need diffrent shims. they dont want to mess with it..


im thinking sence im just moving the shafts over not actually disassembling the gears, it would be fine, ???

 

Thanks for the update on the HR clutch working out for you.

SR20DEN has taken his tranny apart and removed forks, shafts, gears, and such. I helped and watched some. He can do this for you if he has the time. He hasn't been doing much for a while cause of work, but I'll see if he wants to make a few bucks. I still have to find time for him to help me with this clutch/flywheel as well......unless you want help me.

 

well i finally got it moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


adjusted clutch pedel, its really nice, grabbs nice, i havent been harsh on it though.

the tranny seems ok, the fd feels totally diffrent and hella nice.

one problem very big, im pissssssed off, oil is leaking bad, at eather rear main seal, or the rear of the oil pan, this is causing oil to get on flywheel clutch all that, and its dripping out of the lil hole in the bottom.


sooo it looks like its all gotta come apart agian. idkkkkk pics soon.

oh ya !!! the hr clutch , feels like a fen feather, when u press it down, its kinda scary.

 

good stuff i hope you find the problem with the dripping oil. im looking to do it within 2 mos. still searching for a better deal than what i've found which is pretty good. keep us posted

 

ok so today i started back at it agian,

this time it was diffrent took 2 hours and tranny was out, lil more and oil pan was off, now time to figure stuff out..


so the oil leaking is from the rear main seal, its is torn in 2 spots, idk why, eather from defective parts, or i installed it wrong.

see pic http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w...n/DSC01586.jpg


also, the new clutch setup!!!

i though it was fine, untill pulling it apart.

the pressure plate, and the pressure plate side of the clutch is totally fine no problems

but now the flywheel and flywheel side of clutch disc is worn on the inside, like burn or something, but the outer part is fine,

whats up with that??? i really dont know what to do about it.
