I have a 87 hb 4x4 VG30I with FS5R30A trans. I have lost second gear, reverse is almost gone, and first and third pop out of gear. Unbelievably, it will still go. I want to get her a new transmission. I am having a very hard time finding a donor 4 x 4 vehicle. Are there 2wd drive transmissions that would work? Or compatible pathfinder trannies that would swap directly?

Pathfinder yes. 2WD no. Have you tried www.car-part.com before?

Thanks for the reply- and the web site- looks like there may still be a few available. So I'm looking for a 8/86- 96 year 4x4 pathfinder or 4x4 pu with a 3.0 engine as a donor. Thanks-
