I'm waiting to hear back from my buddy, but he has 2) 350Z 6-speed tranni's that he is considering for sale. I figured I'd let you guys know.

How much would you be willing to pay for such an Item?? tranni #1 has 1500 miles on it, and tranni #2 has aprox. 3000 miles on it. one was removed from a wrecked 350Z and the other was a factory warrenty replacement. The owner thought there was a problem with it and had it replaced, then found out that the new one had the same exact feel as the first one. therefore, nothing was wrong with it in the first place.

how much would you pay if you were interested in them???

If i had the money. I would give 250 to 300. Thats as high as i would go without feeling it for myself.

Car-parts.com has 47 of them listed from $800 up to $2000, 9 more listed with no price.

Highlights:

a 3k@$910,

a 1k @$1700,

a .3k@$2000 (that is 300 miles)

From the thread I take it that this is a bolt on conversion?

Don't bet on it, unless you have already installed a 350Z engine!

Will

Like Will said, Don't bet on it. they are the 6-speed tranny out of a 350Z, If you have the V6 engine, this is the tranny for you.

I've heard a few rumors of some company attempting to make a conversion for the L24 thru L28 engine style. If and when it happens, if my friend still has a tranny left, I'm all over that. ( like white on rice)

I'll know more tomorrow. Till then, I'll be dreaming of a way to make it work on the ol' L-series. After watching that Darius240Z.com video, I'm drooling over the possebility of a BIG motor in the 240Z. http://servinitup.com/videos/240z.mpeg I play this one all the time with the speakers turned up.

These transmissions will not bolt to any other engine except the rear

wheel drive VQ35DE found in the 350z,G35's,trucks and suv's.And there are

companies/metal fab shops that can make it work.If your willing to spend

the bucks..and if anyone buys a 6 speed make sure its the 2004 unit.the

early 2003 units had syncro issues.that have been rectified for the 04-05

model years.I am currantly working on designs to fit one to my 90TT.

Any body have a measured technical drawing of the later tranny?

I should probably add that JZM is A.S.E. certified in just about every thing and has worked for NISSAN dealerships as a mechanic for many years. He is THE Z mechanic at Z-Sport in Everett, WA. If you have a question, 9.9 times out of ten, he'll have the answer.

Lets all give a big welcome to JZM, he's my best friend and personal Z guroo.

Dave.

P.S. It's about time John.

Thanks dave. If any one has any Qs please don't be afraid to

ask. I know I'll be asking lots.like how to use this blasted thing they

:tapemouth call a key board.

Welcome and silly lesson #1

What you may try on a stuck spindle pin will not work on a keyboard!

No penetrating oil, hammers, heat wrenches, sockets, or the like-I refuse to answer how my personal experience has proven this to be so!

Will

Only one fer-sure way to get stuck pins out.

sawz-all,lots-o-heat and a 20ton shop press.

I've literally done over a thousand of these darn s/p and

maybe ten have came right out[god bless there zoles.]
