Testing waters : Anyone want a VLSD RS5F50V 5SP M/T from Canada

This service was for a limited time and that time has expired.


As you are probably aware, Nissan made the 95-99 Canadian maxima's with the Viscous limited slip deferential in the transmission. And these are very common in auto wrecker yards in my province, more specifically my town. I recently bought a used one(RS5F50V) from one of these local yards and had the pick from 5 of them. It came with a 3 month warranty, which in your case wouldn't be much good. But from my prospective it insures some confidence in the product.

They varied from 100,000 to 200,000 Km (60,000 to 120,000 miles) on them. Throughout the various years of manufacture 95-99.


If you where interested in obtaining one of these 95-99 RS5F50V 5SP M/T. I would purchase and ship it to you in the USA. I looked into shipping and with UPS and it would be around $200-250 US Dollars and l would build a wooden crate to ship it in.

This transmission will also come with the drivers side axle for the VLSD. I can give you a choice of a Brand New Dynapro or the one that was in the trans to begin with. Or you can source your own.

Price would be :

$850 shipped you source your our own axle.
$900 shipped with original axle (that was originally with the trans).
$1000 shipped with Brand New axle from Dynapac.


Why am I doing this you ask, I see a demand and I have a supply. And I also have the free time right now. Right now in Canada we have weight road bans in place the prohibit oilfield work during the winter thaw. So l sit at home and work on my maxima for the next two months. Also l will not get rich in this deal l will merely make enough to make it worth the time and effort involved in transport and crating, shipping.

If you require additional information PM me.

sorry to sound skeptical, but is this a real deal?

Yes it is real, l wouldn't have started a thread if it wasn't. So what are you skeptical about ? The price or availability, trust ? I was asked to do this for someone on the org about a year ago, but l didn't have the time. Now l do, I am a member in good standing and have a perfect itrader ( I know only 4, but l can get others too, that l forgot to ask).

Price? 500-600$ Canadian (which is par to US dollar) for me to buy.

Shipping 200-250$ with or without axle to the United states.

Used Drivers side axle 50$ shipped in the crate with the VLSD trans.

Brand new Dynapac Driver side axle 120$ shipped in the crate.

My profits are around the 100-150$ which l think are justified for the time and effort to build a crate and transportation (My fuel and truck) + organizing shipping ,whats left after that. This is for you guys my fellow org members that want a VLSD transmission in the united states not me I have one.

This maybe two expensive for some people, and if it is than this mod isn't for you. I am not trying to sell you something you already no what it is. I am trying to offer you a service, acquire and ship you a VLSD tranny.

But if you can afford then l can state that these transmissions are of good quality and they were not picked from a maxima in the country side that sat for years. These are from a wrecker that buys the cars from a insurance company when it was written off. They dissemble the whole vehicle then store it in their warehouse. I saw the vehicles that they disassemble and they were profitable part outs no high speed front end collisions.

I purchased my trans their. This is the last post l will do to justify this thread (explaining anything to do with buying one, post away ).

If you want one good and some will. If you don't thats fine, and have a nice day.

maybe i should clarify, NOT SAYING YOU ARE A SCAMMER BY ANY MEANS, cause i really would like a vlsd trans, are you taking non LSD trans as a core? i was going to have mine sent out for repair but since you are doing this i may just to hold off on that.

No Core needed, these are not brand new they are from maxima`s that were in accidents or their owner sold it to the wrecker so their is no need for exchange. These low mileage VLSD transmissions are in operating condition, no need for rebuild at least not for a few years depending on how you drive.

Why ?? are you interested in buying one ?

You live in Ontario ? I am sure you have a wrecker their that can help you with a Canada-wide search. Or search yourself l did when l needed one, The nature of this thread is to sell a service FIND, acquire and ship.

This thread is for the people in the United States that want a VLSD. Not for Canadians we have access to them.

Used VLSD's can be tricky. After significant time & wear the fluid breaks down leaving you with an open-diff. Suggest checking the tranny functionality with axle spin or torque wrench holding power before buying one (anywhere).

$850's not a bad deal if these are functional - heck I spent $1300 rebuilding a busted one back in '03.

Suggest anybody shopping check car-part.com too - there might be an I30 local to you and save the shipping.

First of all. My first VLSD had 380,000km on it from a 95 and it functioned perfectly well. Thats time and wear in my opinion, but according to you it shouldn't have.
And secondly. I check to see if the Viscous coupling is functioning by the direction of the FSM. You should read, because what you describe sounds retarded. The viscous coupling only locks under centrifugal force, when a wheel spins. Testing with a torque wrench ???? Holding power ???? WTF



That doesn't matter anymore anyway. This was a limited time service, and that limit has been reached.

Happy shopping at car-part.com everybody.

I do have an FSM and yes spinning direction is the basic check. What is doesn't discuss is the centrifugal force and at what torque it engages.

Wow a member is trying to help the community get a hard to find part in the US and this is the response they get (Look here before you buy from this thread ).I'm assuming that anyone on this board is over the age of 16 and has access to a computer and can do a search on line themselves if they are looking for a specific part without someone jacking anothers thread to tell them how. Good job running off a good chance for someone trying to pick one of these up that doesn't live in Canada.
