cdhicks99 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I have just purchased another WD21 (I will give details on my steal later). Needless to say it has AT problems, I am looking for rebuild kits. However I cannot remember nor find the tranny code. (eg. RE4R01A, RE4R03A, RG4R01A, JR403E etc) Does anyone know which is which?

cdhicks99 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Has anyone needed to replace the pump? If so where did you find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranoNZ Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The pump is behind the torque converter Removal requires taking the bell housing off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhicks99 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 lol, thanks. Can I buy one though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranoNZ Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 lol, thanks.Can I buy one though? I'm guessing through a dealer....Ask Derek or the other guy who works @ a dealership who sells parts to us Can't find one on other sites, not even the one I bought my kit from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhicks99 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 OK. I received my master kit and shift kit Thurs. last night me and a buddy tore it down, got it cleaned, and got the reverse pack back together. *Anyone attempting a rebuild should keep in mind, you will need a press for the direct and forward clutch packs* I am hoping to have the trans together tonight and the valve body should get done tomorrow. I will not be dropping the existing tranny until my Headers get here next week. As much as I wish I could drive it next week it looks like next weekend at least. **Big props to TerranoNZ, who has been a huge help. Thanks again man!** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again man!** I didn't have a press, just made something ugly that worked Would of been easier to have the correct tool, but they got the job done. Don't forget to hook up the check valve to the shifter when putting the valve body back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhicks99 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 NZ, in the shift kit it shows a plunger that I'm supposed to flatten dimples on, where exactly is that plunger located? It doesn't give any diagrams regarding where to get it, only how to fix it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranoNZ Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Is that the orifice plug? Mine didn't have the plug, so I didn't need to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhicks99 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 OK, the tranny is done with the exception of the harness that goes into the side. Upon trying to remove it from two different trannys, the little tits that hold it in have broke on both (high heat damage I believe). Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for a leak-free fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdhicks99 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 As for an update to the chaos that began as a simple tranny rebuild and header install. (Two weekends I told my wife) As you can tell from the previous posts the rebuild was not exactly cut-and-dry. I ended up having to use the valve body from my 94 as the other two valve bodies had stuck valves that could not not be moved at all. Luckily (or unluckily) last Fri. the 94 died on my wife with an exploded front pump, providing the afor mentioned valve body. The 94 also had a brand-new alternator (1 day old) so that will be going into the 95. While under the 95 I noticed the valve covers have been leaking terribly which saturated the starter, again luckily the 94 has a fairly new starter. Of course the right rear manifold stud was broken on the 95. While removing the manifolds two more snapped on the right and two on left. Removing these was too much to handle in the vehicle, so the engine has now been pulled which should make things a little easier. Needless to say my two weekend project has been extended with no set date to finally get to drive my latest "great deal". Side notes: The 94 will finally get what it's been waiting years for....custom frame, SB Chevy/350T/Atlas(or 203/205), D44/Ford 9". I will NEVER mess with another Nissan AT, if the 95's tranny goes again it will get a MT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
