i found a 1 transmission about 30 minutes north of me.
i might uby it, guy wants $260, $220 if i give him my old one, but, doubt he'll take it, it's all tore apart.
i've been going through a list of yards in the neighbooring 6 states, and they said there's 3 or 4 different model of transmissions that'll work..
ther'es 2 different models that will bolt directly to the block without modification, as the guy understands it (?). he said the only difference is the ratio. dunno if that's all gears different or the final drive, not sure. maybe someone here knows?
the other ones are crazier. dowlpins become bolts and bolts become dowlpins. so that may require some dickin' around to get working. on top of that, i'd have to get it UPS's, rates start around $70. which isn't bad, i can't drive that one way on my own gas money. only down side is i'll have to pay him to remove them as i can't.
called a uwrench it in holland, he couldn't tell me anything because they don't inventory. i told him that's the most retarded thing i've heard, espeically with as much as they have for resources (800-1000) i think he got pissed because he hung up the phone on me
"you have that many cars and you have no idea what you have or where it's at?" "nope" "that's the dumbest thing i've heard!" *click*
honestly i've never heard of a salvage lot that doesn't inventory anything.
so i'm going to have to take a saturday and look at what they got.
but i ordered 2 bearings from nissan and those should be here sometime thrusday, unfortunatly i'm on standby maint for the weekend so, i'm stuck to the no more then 15 mins from the property rule.
sometime the next weekend i'll stuff it together and see what it does.
if anyone can list what models trans are different and if they'll work, post some results.
for being a nissan fan forum there really isn't much information. or no one is looking at my posts.
