Sounds good. Thanks for your help. This forum rocks!! Gonna go get it and put it in. Ill buy the two driveshafts too just in case. It'll bolt up to the bell housing, I'll make it work. Thanks again.

You are awesome. Thanks so much for that info. All i can figure is that maybe the left and right driveshafts and/or flywheel might be geared differently? Not sure why the junkyard guy said this. I was prepared to just pull it out, buy it, get a new clutch kit, and throw it in, but his computer was telling him that the 4speed and 5 speed werent matching up. He wasnt sure about the reason. Honestly it looked exactly the same to me. Maybe i should just get it and pray everything matches up?

Built 11/91 but is listed as 1992. Vin is 1N4EB32A3NC716135. Listed on title as '92 sentra sedan 2 door. 4 speed manual transmission. 1.6 L. Twin cam/16v.

Here are pictures of engine. Its the 1.6 and it came from factory with 4 speed manual transmission. I did a vin research and everything matches up. Im pretty sure the 5 speed tranny will bolt up to the motor same as the 4 speed did, im just worried about other mounts, clearing the exhaust, etc. Junkyard guy told me that 5 speed transmission probably isnt going to work unless i change out drive axles and flywheel. Any truth to this? I tried asking a nissan dealer mechanic. He said he'd get back to me. Its been 9 days with no call. I cant figure out how to load pictures onto my post. I uploaded onto my profile. Im horrible with computer stuff. AND pretending to be a car mechanic.

Thanks for the input. It is a front wheel drive car. Came stock with the 4 speed transmission hooked to a 1.6 dohc motor. Im being told that a 5 speed transmission may not work since mine had a 4 speed installed from the factory. For some reason that 4 speed manual transmission is a hard sucker to find. And it has to be from a 91-92. No luck there, but i found a 1992 with same motor but with a 5 speed. Im just hoping that this 5 speed will mount up the same as the 4 speed did. The transmission is going sideways. Typical sentra setup. USA model. 5 speed transmission i found is also USA made and looks to be exactly the same from just looking at it. Just to be clear, Im trying to install a 5 speed manual transmission in place of a 4 speed manual transmission.

My bad, its actually the manual transmission i was referring to. My car is a normal sentra sedan with a dohc 1.6 motor. No fwd.

Hi folks, i wish i were talking about the 280 z like most of you on here, but i have an issue with a '92 sentra 4 speed manual transaxle. Mine went out big time, bearing chunks in the pan, and im trying to replace it. Problem is nobody has a 4 speed manual transmission for a 91-92 sentra. They arent available to purchase brand new even. All i can find is 5 speed transaxles. I was wondering if i can throw a 5 speed onto my 1.6 motor that originally had a 4 speed hooked up to it. Its the USA version if that helps. Sorry for the thousand dollar question referencing a 500 dollar car, but i have to fix it. Any help is mucho appreciato.
