Looking for a 1983 Maxima 5 speed trans
Looking for a 1983 Maxima 5 speed trans
I'm looking for a 5 speed for my 83 Maxima diesel. The garage where I had it towed told me that one of the shafts broke and the trans should be replaced. I'm going over tomorrow to see the extent of the damage. The factory service manual says the transmissions in the gas & diesel versions are the same with the exception of a different ratio for 5th gear. Does anyone know if they are interchangeable? Also, will a 5 speed out of a Z car fit? I love the old Max & want to try to get it going!
Thanks

I don't want to steer you wrong, but the 5 speed should fit. That's one of the good things about the good old RWD maximas:} The 280z tranny from that year should work too, since the diesel is derived from the gas 2.8 used in the 280Zx. You shouldn't have too much of a problem. Good luck to you. By the way, is your diesel a sedan or wagon?
