Thread: Tranny blew up.....

Here's what I was talking about: built b13 tranny - Page 2 - SR20 Forum

It's an '01 G20t transmission (so a P11 obviously). It sounds like he had it converted to "manual" (maybe meaning cable clutch?). Anyway, that's the transmission I was interested in because it kept the clutch cable (and maybe the shift selector rods, instead of going to cables like the rest, right?).

Sorry for the mix up. Back to your scheduled program.


As for the B15 being overkill, I agree. But I'd do it still. I'd rather not have to worry about it ever. And I'd pay for that feeling.

So far no real problems on my 99 B14 LSDless tranny. I was once told the the "ribbed" transmissions were pretty strong. Maybe at the cost of LSD the 98-99 transmissions are stronger?

1st and 3rd gear? Does it just not go into them gears at all? If so Id put a 100 bucks down saying a shifter fork fell down there. Its happened to multiple SR trannys in the area. Let us know what the word is when you find out. Nissan really did scrap a pile of sh!t up and called it a tranny them years. Goodluck, Im sure youll get it all figured out.

i think its this rught here....


shawn B,
somthing like tihs happeb to me after 100k on the stock 91 nx tranny.. i was just driving regularly and then pop...all the sudden, were the neutral position was on the shifter...was were 1,3,5 gears were.....i couldnt put the shifter toward the radio to get into thoose gears....i had no 2nd,3rd.or reverse...until id give it gas and slam it into gear... it also made a badddddd grinding noise....


1grand later......i got a new tranny

how can i identify what tranny i got?

Check for a the LSD bulge. Check to see if it is hydro. Then check for the reverse idler gear cover on the side with cooling fins on the bottom.

If it has all that, then it is a B15/P11.

Shawn, just make sure you ask about the model year if you find a P11 tranny. There seem to be some folks that think a '99 P11 tranny is the same as the later years. They are not. Be careful what you buy. Of course, you probably already knew that, but just in case...

PS. The track will find the weak link. It always does...

Mr B, your answer for a VE is ding,ding,ding,ding,ding is a B15 or sr16 tranny(sr16 for you), stay away from the p11 because of the long gears. I would pass ya riding on a unicycle with you rockin that tranny in a VE.

great improvement to come with the b15 tranny... id love to do that swap on mine but it strangely runs pretty good on the stock one... hope you get it fixed soon and this quote is goin into the sig... wise words sir...

shawn does the tranny grind when you try to put it in first or just not budge. If it grinds you are looking at damage to the gear stack. If it does not budge its a shifting fork or syncro issue. Btw I have lost 1 and 3rd in a b14 tranny before but I stripped the teeth off the gear stack. That was the only nissan tranny I have blown up. I still have the stock tranny in my 94 turbo car and my 92 ve car.

^Ding Ding! 00-02 or go home!



^The SR16VE tranny in a 10.1 DE is a fun ride

^I think Shawn B would be happy with a VE mated to a B15 tranny.
