johnzracer Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hey fellas, does anybody know if the FWD trany from a 82-86 Sentra will bolt to an A-series block? I need to replace the trany in my 310 and they are unobtainium. I heard that the bolt pattern was almost the same, with a few extra holes. any info is appreciated. we wanna race this little car in the local chump car races and could use a good spare. Thanks, Mongo Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's A series related Quote Link to comment
njoz1200ute Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Never heard of that swap before but if you can get your hands on one let us know. Is the sentra one a 5 speed? If so it would be a really good alternative to finding a nissan 60a 63a etc. Which are really rare Quote Link to comment
rusty12ver Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 If you are going to use a Sentra trans go for the '91 on up from the Sentra ga16de or the nx1600. The nx one has 4.47:1 final drive. You could slot the hole on the bell to make it work. Use the Sentra clutch, the 310 used a 190mm clutch disc, like the Sentra, and the spline count of the ga trans is 18t. not sure which flywheel though. It depends where the ring gear sits. Starter will sit over the trans, so may have to see where it ends up, for clearence. Trans may need a brace from the bottom part of the bell to the engine. Never done it, don't know about axles or mounts etc, I just threw away a Sentra trans, would have given it to you. The E has a 4 speed, the xe/gxe 5 speed. If you go for it good luck and take pics! NJOZ, a 310 came out as a fwd hatch a series powered here. I assume that is he one he is talking about. Quote Link to comment
johnzracer Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thats the one. He77, I may have the last running 310 in the USA!! LOL!! I dont know if the e series flywheel will bolt to the a series crank. May have to do some machining and redrill it. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 What about just using an E-series engine? Quote Link to comment
johnzracer Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thats possible but I prefer to use the A engine. E engine is a detriment in the class I want to run. Just got back from a road trip to get the proper 5 spd to fit the A engine. 2 day trip, but I got the engine and trany for a really good price. Quote Link to comment
