Hi,

I need VE 5 speed tranny ASAP. The tranny Alex V found me one but it ended up having a bad LSD Disc so now I need a functioning tranny by Monday. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

 

I need one too..

 

did you end up with that black car? Is that the one with a bad LSD?

 

I think nismosleeper is selling some ve transmissions in the classifieds..

 

I PM'ed him today no reply yet...

 

Alex V found one at junkyard yesterday and went to pull it today but found the LSD is bad... The one I posted is still at the dealer lot but I dont wanna have another maxima around and have to somehow get rid of it and I also dont really wanan pay 850 just for a Transmission...

 

I am sure you could part it out and get several hundred bucks. A couple years ago, I just parted out my good VE engine and made over $300.

 

I know.... but the question is were do I store it....

 

How did you/alex come to the conclusion the lsd unit was bad?

 

I locked 1 tire, then put it in gear, and turned the axle nut with a breaker bar and the engine didn't move but the axle did. So all that moved was the axle I was working on....:/ Got a lot of the remaining 5speed parts tho.

dig a hole and bury it. I seriously considered that at a time when there was a wrecked ve-5 I was thinking about buying.

on another note, I have a ve 5 speed in the garage. I was planning on keeping it for a potential swap in the future, but i guess i'd part with it for the right price.

 

what color is it?

 

Is the tranny good? I kinda need it by Moday next week...

 

Well the car it came off had a bad motor but i'm sure the tranny is fine. Had no leaks, oil looked surprisingly clean when i drained it. Shipping would be kind of high if you need it by monday. Last tranny I sold cost $100 for ground shipping which takes about a week. PM me with an offer if you wants.

Oh, and it's aluminum color

 

John wants white doors. Thats why he asked.

VLSD right?

i thought it needs to heat up before it locks the other side.

How does a Viscous LSD(VLSD) work? each output shaft of the differential is tied together by a device known as a viscous coupling. This is basically two slotted discs that have a silicon fluid between them. If the discs are rotated at a speed that varies relative to each other this produces friction which heats the silicon fluid up. The silicon becomes more viscous as it's temprature rises. There will be a point where the silicon will become viscous enough to hold the two discs together (this is why the discs are slotted, it is so the silicon will have something to grip to).

i doubt there was enough heat generated in the diff by you turning the axle by hand.
thoughts?

 

Hmmmm,now that i think about it,i have noticed more torque steer from my car when i get on it before it has warmed up,then it seems to lessen as the engine/trans warm up...

 

I was rethinking that. I might go pull it but it just snowed here so IDK.

I also read the FSM and the tires are suppose to spin the same way when the tires are off the ground and its in neutral. It didn't...

someone in chicago is selling a VG5 that would make a nice donor.

 

Yup,if it spun in the opposite direction,it's screwed..

 

so the other wheel didn't spin at all or did it just spin the opposite direction?

 

meh, just found a complete VE5 for sale. Jet black still has the Fogs on it.
Looked clean from the pics.

 

how much.. and were at?

 

too much, and someone else got dibs.
I mentioned it to them first

 

..............

 

my 92 automatic w\vlsd does one or the other (basically they dont spin together like the fsm shows)but..it only shows that test in the manual trans section.not in the auto trans section i dont know if its the same?
i did peel out in gravel once (its easier+less hurty on dirt\gravel)
and it left two skids one started a little after the other?
so does anyone think its the same wheel spin test for automatics?

 

I have a spare VLSD differential in the garage from a parts tranny I bought. If you need it, shoot me an email and I can get it shipped out.

overnight won't be cheap for 50lb, but I can get it to you...

I think he looked at all those and most of them want $500+. After the $400 point its definitely worth it to get the VE parts car he posted pics of.

Time is money.. If he wants it by monday, those guys have a tranny sitting on the shelf.

But otherwise I agree with you.
