MY1PATH Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 any 2001+ RE4R01A (found in VG powered R50's, Frontiers and Xterras) Will be your golden ticket. Nissan never changed the Part numbers but the 2001+ are HD models. Before you install the transmission you should Get a shift kit from SUPERIOR SHIFT. The kit is about $40 and provides some new seals and minor modification of the Valve body For crisp clean shifting and long life performance. Superior designs kits specifcally for used high mileage trannys to correct issues that were not adressed when the tranny was first designed.

tsailor21 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) that would work great if it was an auto but i need to know what manual 5 speed trannys will work thanks ps it is a 1992 se 4x4 Edited December 27, 2010 by tsailor21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Anything from 96-2000 should work. In 2001 the pathfinder got the vq motor and the tranny will not bolt up to a vg engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsailor21 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 ok so i can put a manual transmission out of a 96 -2000 pathfinder or pickup in my 92 pathfinder and it will bolt right up and every thing will plug right in and the slave will be the same and i can use the clutch i have in it that was put in 2 years ago and it should all work i really need to know 100precent because i am going to call the junk yard and get a price so please let me know and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I believe all that is correct but I haven't done the comparison myself. Go to a site like Rock Auto and look up the part numbers for different years to see if they are the same. Also, the 90-95 manual trannys are not junk, they just have a lubing issue due to a lower fill level. There is a TSB about overfilling to 5.1 liters. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2621 All they did for the later year trannys was raise the fill hole. Also, it may be worth simply having yours rebuilt. Ask around for a quote... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 When you said garbage I assumed you meant the AUTO's. Like stated above the MT is great and never recived any upgrades (as far as I know) I fill mine thru the sifter, Less crawling that way. The original (before knowing about the TSB) lasted 190k with the fill level too low. Thats when 5th started to go and the fragments created interference with 3rd and 1st.

ditchdiggerjcf Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 ok cool thanks i fornt one for 450 shiped to ny door on ebay but if anyone has one let me know thanx again tj You can still buy brand new trannies from nissan that come with warranty for about 1200 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 FYI the 3.3 trannys have higher gear ratios than the 3.0's so your rpms at a given speed will be slightly lower. This isn't a big differance and should not deter you its just a litte fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means that I could bolt up an Xterra AUTO tranny to my 92xe ? What do you mean with HD Models? Cuz I'm planning on changing my tranny, some what sick with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 As I understand it, 2001+ models are Heavy Duty (HD). I'm not sure what changes were made but I would assume it includes things like re-enforced gears, Stronger TC and stronger shift solenoids for Crisper shifting.

Precise1 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yes, Mr510 posted a list of improvements IIRC. I don't understand them, but the point is, Nissan beefed up an existing tranny to handle 250hp instead of 180hp and it works. I am seriously considering installing one (and a VG33) in my 95.
