Im going to have my 5sp overhauled- new seals, bearings, shims, cleaned out and all but I was wondering what would the cost be for a good job? what would the dealer charge? I would do this myself but I dont have experience in shimming and I dont have the tools like a dial indicator so I guess Ill have a shop do it but I just want to know what would I expect to pay. thanks

EDIT- the tranny is already off the car BTW

 

You need to talk directly with JAY25. He will help you out where he can. He even has a FULL write-up for the entire process. If you were to take it to the dealer, it will be well over $1000. If you took it to a tranny shop or independent garage, it will be around $800, however some/most shops will not touch the internals of the tranny. This is something that you can do in a day or two, with little to no effort involved since the tranny is already off the car.....

 

Ive read the write up and also from motorvate one but I did go to the dealer once and the service manager gave me a estimated $500 or so but he didnt give me a clear price since he doesnt know how much labor would be.

 

btw if anyone knows the price for parts to get the job done it will be appreciated. sorry but search cant help at this time

seals, diff bearings, shim(s) is that it? or anything else needs to be changed.

 

Talk to Eric D Wong. He re-built his twice, I think.

NISMO, like I said in the first post, talk with JAY25. He knows the part numbers and everything that is needed....

 

i did my trans, needed new differential bearing (leaking axle seal left side) i pulled out my trans and brought it 2 the trans shop some kid i new charged me 100.00 2 install the parts i supplied him with. bearing/seals. he said he shim it so i don't know but its not leaking anymore thodid the bearings at 139,100-143,300 no leaks/seeping!

bearing and seal cost me about 100.00
new clutch 330.00 ACT
redline gear oil 40.00
resurface flywheel 40.00
rear main seal 47.00
upper trans mount 90.00
cattman ploy lower mounts 300.00
raxle right side axle 190.00
my labor price less


hope this helps

 

How deep ya want to go? Diff bearings are easy, thats all I did, Jamie as well. Eric did some other bearings. If you want to do it all were talking syncro rings and a few other bearings. You will need a hydraulic press. My advice is just do all the bearings unless the syncros look worn. I'd imagine a shop could do it for under 1k, but for that money just buy a used low milage trans, run cheep gear oil for 1k then put redline MT 90 in and be happy.

 

well mine is pretty much a used low milage tranny- 97 with 49k. whats the odds of me having bad diff bearings? I havent opened it up yet but I know for shure the seals need to be changed

 

talk to Harold... HLH (the 5speed conversion guy) He bought a 1st gen altima one, took some of the gears out (3rd and 5th i think) took his 1,2,4 and sent them all to Washington, DC and for 60$ or something and got them hardened... Then made a new tranny w/ those gears to support his turbo... I think the whole deal only cost $800 area. (that include the altima tranny)
