TXPower Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Trying to figure out if my 1993 SE Model has the FS5W71C or FS5R30A Manual Transmission. Is there a badge on the tranny, something in the VIN or a way thru visual inspection to tell? Thanks, TXPower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXPower Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Think I may have answered my own question looking thru my FSM but please confirm....... It looks like the FS5W71C was coupled with the KA24E, so earlier Pathy's? And my 1993 has the FS5R30A coupled with the VG30e, right?

stabworthy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 yes , on the passenger side of your engine bay. it has the bin number, engine code and axle code also, if you wanna look and be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I just looked through the Pathfinder trans rebuild on Beer Garage, and yeah, looks like the FS5R30A is what came with the V6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXPower Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Slartibartfast, that's what I was looking at too, the beergarage rebuild. I'm actually considering doing mind myself. I have most of the tools he used. I may have to make a few custom fab adjustments on pullers like that dude did and I think I'll go buy a 12 ton or bigger press. But yeah, I'm probably gonna rebuild mine. I'm not in a hurry, so I can take my time. Besides, the same tranny or a later model one from an R50 or other Nissan with 100k plus goes for a minimum 500 bucks round here. With like a 60 day warranty at most. I've got my dad for help and advice too, he used to rebuild Muncie and Saginaws back in the day. TXPower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXPower Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Can anyone recommend a supplier for MT rebuild kits from experience or a trusted source? The guy on the beergarage site mentions 2 but I was just wondering if any of our members had rebuilt their 5spd and could point me to a quality supplier?

ahardb0dy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 don't know if it is different but the beergarage one was a 2wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXPower Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah, ahardb0dy I saw that the beergarage rebuild was 2wd. The FSM shows both 2wd and 4wd models. Exploded view shows the differences which is mainly in the last section of the tranny case, before it mates to the T-case. TXPower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
