Editing Z31/transmissions (section)

== Interchange ==

All Z31 transmissions are completely interchangeable. They have no problems bolting up to the motor. One problem is they don't always mount to the body correctly. You may have to drill and tap new holes for the transmission mount.

(1986 Non Turbo Automatic Model Shown with a FS5W71C Installed)

Each transmission has it's own output shaft size and overall length. Finding the appropriate driveshaft for a two seater is no problem. Just find another two seater that had the same transmission and take that driveshaft. If you have a four seater, you're going to have a more difficult time. Only in Canada did the North American market get a turbo four seater. And almost all of them were automatics. So you'll need to find the appropriate driveshaft for the transmission you just bought and have the driveshaft lengthened. If you get a FS5W71C, there are plenty of 2+2 5 speed models around.

The Z32 manual transmissions can also be installed although with some modification. A 89-91 Maxima SE Flywheel is needed as is modification to the stock shifter and transmission mount. More Information on this swap can be found [http://www.z31performance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2536 here].
