That is correct. I should have clarified that the gearing between the vq35de tranny and the VG33 tranny are the same. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Supercharged Xterra and Frontier and the RE4R01A behind the vq35de are HD variety. Same gearing and with very miniscule differences. Shaft spline count should be the same. Maybe slight bellhousing differences but swap bellhousing tc and flex plate. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

A long skinny punch and a jack or blocks of wood to keep the door square. The harbor freight punches worked for me. Along with using a long 3/8ths socket extension. You do not want the door's weight hanging on the pin. Lube the overloving piss out of them. Get some rubber hoses and cut a slit in the middle of them from one end to the other and line the door edges with it by slipping it over. This will prevent you from scratching and scraping up the paint while you man handle the door. An extra set of hands is great unless you are tall and have long arms and some strength. These doors are heavy. Once you get the doors off and pull out the old brass hinge bushings, clean up the hinge holes with a dremel to make sure the new bushes can fit in. They may be wallowed out oblong. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I have done a rebuild and it's really easy to grasp once you slowly take it apart. You will need to come up with some home garage ingenuity to remove the snap rings for the clutch hubs. I used various sizes of C clamps. Look up RE4R01A on here and you will see the photos. You will need a reliable caliper to measure shims and disks, and a H gauge. I bought my kit at rockauto and would not rocommend this particular kit as the steel disks were not the same size I was needing and the filter was not cut or stamped properly. You will want to measure all the current shims and disks as well as take lots of pictures so you don't forgot what goes where. Considering how you have excessive debris, I would see if you could get your torque converter cleaned out otherwise you're spewing all that junk back in your rebuilt transmission.

Transmission is mated up. Issue now is the engine and transmission assembly is not square with the frame for my crossmember to line up with the bolt holes. Sonuvagun this thing is heavy. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Tranny fell off my jack and went boom. Transmission fluid everywhere. No cracks luckily just some sharp edges that need to be cut filed down. I though I was going to be okay with out the straps on but it caught my header and of it went. I'm going to try again Thursday on my day off. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I've been running atf in mine. Regardless, it sounds like the pump may be on its way out or the belt is slipping but leaning towards pump. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Unfortunately he no longer works there from I last read. You would be fine with gates timing belt kit. Rockauto has great prices and discounts codes. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Yeah 185 seems low. I recall seeing somewhere online someone posted a graph of where the optimum temperature is for the motor. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Ordered a seal kit from rockauto only find out that the copper washers in the kit are too large in diameter. One of the O rings were larger in diameter as well but I'm thinking it will work. Reused the old copper ones and hoping for the best. If not, I'll see how much it'll cost at the dealership. Cleaned up the rear main seal housing and will install a new seal tomorrow. I noticed Ed I had an oil buildup on the face of the flex plate so I'm hoping the newer seal seals it up real well. It's been a struggle this rebuild. I purchased a small power steering cooler today with some longer hose. I'll need to buy another mounting kit my transmission cooler since I need to move it over more to make room for the power steering one. Man, I really hope it's not oil leaking out of the exhaust port.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Yes, but what are you trying to do Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I'm with Adamzan on this. Clean engine there! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

I have concluded the shop who resealed my transfer case didn't know the correct location of the neutral switch and ended up jamming two of the checkballs against each other. A drill and tap later, I have something that should function like it was designed to. Catch to this is I converted to 4wd and have no wiring set up or that 4x4 and neutral transfer case indicators lol. Started putting on the timing belt again and noticed I'm missing the washers for the tensioner. A trip to the dealership and they are on order expected to arrive this Thursday. Power steering pump will be getting new o rings and crush washers, a cooler install, and I'll be installing back on the remote oil filter. Maybe the remote transmission filter too.

Getting ready to wrap up my transfer case reseal. I need to prime the engine with oil and button up the bottom end so I can rework the right side motor mount to finally be able to bolt it down (bent frame). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Welcome mate! Keep the forums alive! There are a few prominent old timers here but regardless, their is vast amounts of info here.

Have you considered used? I am not familiar with aftermarket critical parts but it should be fine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Have you checked the fluid? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Check your coolant and transmission fluid as well as your brakes. Other than that, you should be okay.

No help here it you may try ebay or the pick and pull for a new cluster. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

This t case is still fighting me. Forced to try and remove the shift rod. Now I'm going to order a new freeze plug. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

R12 blows ice cold. I'd keep if if you have access to it still. It's more expensive but worth it imo. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Illumination instrument panel is a start. Just open the fuse door and look at the diagram. Or pull one by one and see which one is burned. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

How was this tested or confirmed? Did you make sure your battery connections were secure and clean? No loose connections? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
