LSD added to my Altima 3.5

[rich2342]

Hello,

Im a new member here at nico and am also a member at other altima forums.

Today I just did a very rare modification for a 5 speed Altima se and im wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this.

I had an 04 maxima 6 speed limited slip installed on my 5 speed manual Altima. It was a painstaking process and the dealership gave me some grief. I will be testing out the new jwt clutch and lightweight flywheel also newly installed.

Just wondering if any altima members here have tried this?

Welcome to Nico

No, I have not tried this, nor even contemplated doing so. But good luck with it.

Stick around OUR forums

Welcome!! I have heard of it being done before and from what I read the Altima driver loved it..........how much was this? Keep us posted!!

[DIESEL_89]

yes it has been done...its PITA to install i hear. all the people that did the conversion loved it. im planning on doing it for the spring.. but who knows....kinda expensive/...

nice bro im gonna actually do this in the summer but i can get a whole maxima transmission with lsd for a little over a grand so im just gonna do the swap myself gl with it im sure youll love it

[rich2342]

pita can't begin to explain what i've gone through with this install and after issues..

Still trying to diagnose why it wont shift correctly into 1st without double clutching or reverse without having to find another gear and back to reverse just to engage.

Painful and costly.. i've been at every board looking for advise.. barely anyone with a 5 speed has done exactly the same mod.

did digatalblow on nc. com? also i think there is another turbo guy that did it recently ill see if i can find his username thn pm it to you so you can try to talk with him

[rich2342]

Yeah,

I spoke with the turbo'd canadian on the other board. He swapped his 5 speed for a max 6 speed with vlsd. Whereas i just had the lsd installed into my 5 speed.

[deebsr6]

ohh alright that would make it easier. that really sucks but im sure many others will thankyou for trying it.

[rich2342]

Yeah,

on the various boards i have been tracking my experience for others..

Maybe when all is done it will be somewhat worth it assuming it get fixed without having to go back to my stock set up or swap transmission's

[deebsr6]

if you want when i do the swap since im puttin a new transmission in i could sell you mine for cheap only will have around 45000 miles on it. Then you can put the lsd in that since its the 6spd.
