Got a problem with 1st-2nd. Not shifter (damn). Anyone have a transmission out there for sale? Prefer lsd of course since this is what I have in my "t" but would consider other.

A rare little animal manual with LSD [since only about 20% of G sold were t cars].

You would be better off ordering one from a Japanese JDM importer. Or having an expert rebuild yours.

Never dealt with importer before. Can you recommend someone? Or expert rebuilder (although I don't know if I can afford that). Car is at independent Nissan/Infiniti shop here (Franklin Specialists). I don't know if their transmission guy has the chops to do this or not. Said he hadn't seen a G20 transmission go out like mine before...1st/2nd came back on way to shop after exiting freeway but they said it is hanging and would probably do it again.

Not to pick a fight, but....

ALL 91-97 SE-R's have LSD. I would be amazed if *any* G20's prior to 98 had an open diff.

You have a mechanical speedo car & an electronic sending unit?

Swap them.

You mean to tell me all SR20DE manual G20's had open diffs save for T models?

Come on. For real?

Have a synchro issue? Send it to me, I have my 91 SE-R trans on a bench about to be Cryogenically treated in preparation for a GTI-R swap.

BTW, my 130k 91 SE-R trans is in perfect shape, no 1st gear popout nonsense & the gear mating is spot on.

130k miles......1320 feet at a time for 13 years. :D

The P10 touring transmission is rather rare (only made 1994-96), but you can still find them around. You can find them in salvage yards (check http://www.car-part.com for example) or maybe somewhere like http://www.JGYCustoms.com The easiest way to check is have them read you the transmission code. If it ends in V it's vlsd equipped. If it ends in A, then it's an open diff transmission.

Heavy Duty, you can be amazed, the regular G20's were an open diff transmission (other than a select few early model Canadian P10's). :)

As far as an SE-R transmission they are much more common, with the VLSD. You can get one out of 1991-1994 Sentra SE-R, NX2000, or a 1995-1997 200sx SE-R. You will have to swap the speedo gear on the earlier models as it's a mechanical sender on that transmission, but it's an easy swap. And then for the halfshafts you'll have to run an automatic P10 halfshaft on the driver's side, from what I remember. (there's more info about this over at G20.net)

The SE-R transmission has shorter 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears, they kept 2nd the same in both (probalby to keep the 0-60 runs to only one gear shift in all the cars).

Or you could buy any P10 transmission and have the gear sets swapped over, if that's where the problem is at?
