muddfildvaynes Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 So I have been looking into findong some information about the differentials and the gearing and have not been able to find much information.... Does anyone know the gearing these pathfinders come with; I have a 1999.5 LE I believe with 4.636 gears? Is there a locker or are we stuck with these limited slips? Any help would be appreciated. What about the tranfer case, is there any upgrades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 4.3XX(MT) and 4.6XX(AT)(Terrano's had a wider range). Some have LSD in rear, some don't. ARB makes air locker for front and rear. Other R200 front diffs (frontier and Xterra for example) parts won't interchange (such as new R&P) because we have reverse cut gears and ours are high pinion design versus low for the rest. Theres a sticky on how to tighten up your LSD with more plates. Anything else? Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 With a LE model you probably have 4.3 gears. I have a front and rear set of 4.6 gears I'll sell you already installed for cheap. Both AC and Calmini make transfer case gears to go from a 2:1 to a 3.7-3.9:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I highly recomend taking apart your LSD and re-stacking the plates & discs w/d21 style(.|.|.|) as it will nearly double your rear traction compared to the r50 arrangement(.||..|) the parts you need are already in your stock LSD just in a differant order and if its still not enough traction for you, you can and a disc to each side or splurge on a locker.

muddfildvaynes Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Does anyone have any pictures of where is the link to that thread, I am not that familiar with the r50 diffs..... Tyler are your diffs locked, and they come already to install? What about some of those 4-links I saw you that you made; how much for a set of those? Could you send me a PM with some pricing? Do you have anymore pointers on re-stacking the discs? How long of a project is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01silvapathy Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Well I did a bit of digging, and managed to find the build thread for doing a friction disc repak on your diff. Doesnt look too too hard, just may take awhile. I might be doing this this summer. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=22182&hl=LSD+rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 honestly, I added 1 disc to each side and I thought it was too much on my 31's I could hear them grab up and chirp-chirp arround tight turns so I set it back to stock. Its more time consuming than anything, not hard at all. I will eventually do a compromise where I get 2 discs machined down bfore I add them. I used this as my guide http://home.comcast.net/~xterra/tech/LSD/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
