Base tranny vs Sport

juld0zer · 01-14-2015, 10:57 AM

My guess is that they will bolt up (but be ready to deal with something like trying to fit the rear wheels on the front - Nissan might have cast a simple slight variation that prevents swapping gearboxes). A bell housing swap would probably fix that.

And as for SRM, my guess is you'll just get S-Mode faults and an annoying error notification on your cluster. It wont blip because there's no gate sensor.

How come you want to swap boxes? I had a feel of a base gearbox when i was in Japan 2 years ago. Man that shift felt sweet. It felt really tight and it had none of that notchy/clunky feel of my sport's shift. I'd even go as far as saying the throw felt shorter. Then again, a showroom gearbox is going to feel better than my then 30,000km box.

We only get the touring sport spec here in Australia.
