Z31carowner Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If I get an FS5R30A tranny from a Pathfinder instead of a 300ZX, will I have to change the gear ratio? I know they are different on the Z32's, but unknown on the Pathfinder. The only reason I care is this guy at a salvage yard is charging more for the one from the 300ZX. I assume because it's a sports car or more sought after. I'll take the cheaper Pathfinder one if it's workable that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Apparently the ratios are different depending on 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive. So it would help to know that, to start. If the transmissions are out and he'll let you examine them, you could do some measuring/counting. Always good to spin things anyway to see what shape they're in.

HowlerMonkey Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Somewhere there is a transmission dimensions thread which details that the pathfinder transmission has the shifter a bit closer to the bellhousing than would likely work in a z31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkaw Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Did you try the z32 trans threads? I thought I was reading about that the other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
