Nissan 300zx transmission replacement

I have a nissan 300zx with transmission problems. I was told this transmision is also used in some pathfinders, pickups and xterras. Is this true and if so are there any problems with the application regarding electrical or fitment?

No, that is not true, you can only use one from another 300ZX, 1990-91 for a manual transmission, 1990-93 for an automatic. Also you have to get the one for if you have twin turbo, or one if you don't.

I have a 87 5 speed pathfinder and the gears started to go on the transmission . now the transmision wont go into any gear.

Hi Robert,I have 85 Nissan 4x4,know these Nissan's very well,you stated your clutch fluid in reservoir was empty,which means your clutch slave cylinder is bad and leaking.It's located on the side of transmission with 2 bolts holding it on,may have fluid on it,they use brake fluid.Here's a guide on how to replace,here's the part,very easy to replace.You can fill up with fluid and bleed to get you where you need to go,will hold up temporary,best to get a bleeder kit at Autozone to bleed.

[email protected] nissan pathfinder. the torque convertor come out seperate from the transmission. i was told that it should have came out as a hole. how do i replace it.

The torque converter is attached to the flywheel or in this case possibly a starter ring gear plate attached to the rear of the crankshaft. There should be between 4 and 6 bolts to remove it. It is separate from the transmission. Please rate this answer, thanks.

1990 nissan 300zx

I assume this is an automatic transmission. Is it a twin turbo or a non-turbo model? It sounds like you've lost fourth gear and are stuck in 3rd - those RPM would be about right. If you can provide more information, it will probably help in the diagnosis.
