braveops Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 found a pathfinder that was auto for my swap so i need a 5 speed and flywheel to fit a vg30. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think only the later Pathfinders after '95 were 2wd. The rest had integral transfer cases. All 2wd Hardbody with VG motors would work. Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 The late 200sx and 240sx Vg tranny would also work being 2wd but they are long like these: These are for 4 cyl but would have a VG bolt pattern on them. The very bottom is the D21 truck tranny for 4 cyl. Again just the bolt pattern would be different and they are about 33" long. I imagine keeping the length as short as possible would be a good thing on a 510. Link to comment
braveops Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 i came across tiger jdm and the have a VG30 DE 5 Speed Transmission Nissan 300ZX Non Turbo 90-96 for under 300.they ship out of toronto if all else fails Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Learn all you can about this tranny. It's considered the ultimate best 300zx VG30DETT tranny made. It's called the FS5R30A and there were two types made, one for the earlier Z31 and the later Z32. This is the earlier Z-31 5 speed: Early FS5R30A This is the later Z-32 5 speed. The internals are the same but there is some mention about the bell housing being different??. Late FS5R30A Also I have heard that there were three different spline types used with the 300zx for the larger drive shafts???? Just saying make sure you check these things. Here's a 300zx tranny to use. It's for the '84-'88?? non turbo. It's the FS5W71C type. It's more than strong enough, lighter, smaller for better fit and probably cheaper. FS5W71C Do not go for the FS5R90A . Link to comment
DAW Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I have the VG30DE 5-speed and I'll sell it for cheap ($175) but you're in Kelowna and I'm in Seattle and shipping would be high. DAW Link to comment
