Thank you so much Ezekiel. Installing the trans this weekend. It's great seeing this bench tested and all of the inner workings. I'm glad you put so much car into this rebuild while still keeping on budget.
Thanks for making the video. I'm going to rebuild a similar trans in my s12 200sx V6. Haven't done a manual trans rebuild in 12 years, and kinda dreading it. Thanks for the walk-through!
Good used 3600 later. My cluster shaft split at the mid plate. I say cluster only because counter shaft says obsolescence. But upon reseach look up nis-8 zmnis-8 is a usa standard gear
Thanks for the video bro I could not figure out how where this oil gutter went for the life of me. I had it right I was ready to close it up but I just had to make sure thank you bro!!🎉😂
When you do get around to do this can you please say where you get the parts and what the part numbers are and if the s13 has different numbers say what they are if possible
@@protofreak9518 Big ask! But I will do my best. The correct bearings I bought from eBay sellers from the UAE. AMP Gear has a good explanation of S13/S14 and year to year parts differences.
This was awesome to see as I’m thinking about buying an s14 5 speed transmission which is supposedly for a SR20DET engine so this was great to see as I want to strip it down to inspect and if it needs rebuilding I know when I’m in for.. thanks !! From 🇦🇺
New to the channel mate, super informative! I enjoyed watching it as it has taught me and I have more idea how things get worn out. It’s nice to actually understand how things end up the way they do sometimes 😂
I sure can once I get another customer rebuild. Supporting the channel via merch or Patreon also gives me buffer time away from shop work to make videos like these.
Hey Zeek, I think my 2004 Frontier shares this transmission. First gear started making a weird whirring noise between 5-15mph. Must be a bad gear/bearing. Looking to swap it out soon!
@@CMAutohaus No off road or towing here. Just a old truck with almost 200k miles. Do you have any recommendations to where I can take it to get inspected/rebuilt down here in SoCal/LA area? Thanks Zeek!
Appreciate the kind words! But this is definitely not a hobby for me: the automotive world is my life and my lifes work has been constant improvement as an automotive technician. To give you my background in a nut shell, I gave up my government job with a guaranteed 30 yr retirement in order to pursue my dreams.
@@mxney8867 Thank you for the kind words. Best words of advice I can give you is that chasing your dreams means sacrifice, frustration, and exhaustion everyday. But by that same token, I also live my life on my terms EVERY DAMN DAY!
I completely rebuilt my transmission everything now and second year has sounds like car keys jiggling..... I wonder if the main shaft is pitted in ruined needle bearings it It makes a noise and 4th also
Bearing splitter and 20ton press. I think a few bearings/gears needed a puller. IIRC front counter bearing need a specific SST. I cut the outer race to pull it off.
I live in the bay area myself. I have this same transmission (fs5w71c) in my R32 GTS-t and I think I may need to rebuild it. Any suggestions? Im just looking for a rebuild similar to factory, my car isn't "built" by any means and I just want a basic stock setup.
Hey Mike its Ezekiel. We are both in the NorCal Skylines Owners group. I have the 4 door R33 GTST with GTR front face conversion. Factory rebuild, in house deburr/lightening, and WPC +Cryo treat key parts is what we suggest for these transmissions. We've build many of these for time attack and track day cars already ezekiel@cmautohaus.com for business inquires.
@@CMAutohaus Oh nice I didn't realize! There any rebuild kit you recommend for this specific trans? Myself being a skyline owner on a budget = bad idea 🤣🤣
I have a 1990 s13 hatch it has a spun bearing but it’s a clean all original car I haven’t tested the trans yet because my new engine won’t be here for 2 weeks but I bought a spare for $25 the guy said it goes through all the gears and drives fine without any noises but does grind gears when you shift with any speed so I want to rebuild it I figured 🤷♂️ it’s something I wanna learn to do and it’s cheaper than a box of legos lol the shifter assembly alone is worth that IMO I’m trying to find a rebuild kit not having any luck!!!!! Anyone have a link? It’s an s13 manual transmission
@@kingarthur7255 Yep. Byproduct of 30 years of people saying its cheaper to put in a good used trans rather than do a rebuild. Now here we are in 2020 with rare AF rebuild parts on a common AF trans.
Hey I race a s13 240sx. I only use 1-2-3. All The Honda guys I race against remove 4-5 gears to reduce weight. Is is possible to do the same with a s13 5 speed.
i have a sr20det swapped mgb roadster with the s13 5 speed gearbox. only when in 4th gear and above 2000rpm and decelerating or very light throttle there is a horrible vibrating / rattling noise through my drivetrain / gearbox. any suggestions on what would be causing this?
What’s up ! I got a s13 trans for my S14 when I bought it, previous owner thought that one of the gears and synchros broke or something and it needs to be rebuilt, how much do you normally charge to rebuild a transmission?
What is the cost or ball park cost of a rebuild on one of these? I have a daily driver SR s14 that shows its age (grinding 3rd on downshifts and reverse can be werid) and I am debating a rebuild VS a Z32/Z33 conversion as I don't care for an upgrade but more so a new feel with the luxury of knowing I can drive as aggressive as I want without over complicating it.

This is something I'm going to have to do soon. I've watched all of your other FS5W71C video's. Thank you for all the help!
This was super informative! Just like the other commenters, a video on how to tear down/inspect one of these would be extremely helpful.

I think the last part where you tested the transmission, cleared up a lot of information on what gears im looking at! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
awesome video man! Technical view into this is awesome!
Glad you liked it!
Very nice video! Thanks a lot for sharing that. It was NOT boring.

Really enjoyed this video!! Thanks man

do a fs5w71c transmission tear down and rebuilt
Possibly soon! I have a customer 71c being shipped to the shop as we speak.

This was an amazing video considering I just did one too ❤much respect for your knowledge and clarity skills SAVE THE MANUALS!!! 🔥 🏎️
Thank you so much! great video! Can we please get a part list and links to buy them?
This transmission was built years ago. A simple google search of the FSM and the transmission code for parts should suffice well.
Can you do a video on how to take the bottom shaft or the trans apart?
I sure can once I get another customer rebuild. Supporting the channel via merch or Patreon also gives me buffer time away from shop work to make videos like these.

Expensive AF. Z32 trans swap recommended
I completely rebuilt my transmission everything now and second year has sounds like car keys jiggling..... I wonder if the main shaft is pitted in ruined needle bearings it It makes a noise and 4th also
Hell yeah
Awesome video and very informationl👍🏽 is there a special tool to remove the countershaft bearing race, or can I just use a regular puller?
Regular puller should be fine
Hello, can you tell me what is the recommended lubricant for that transmission? Thank you very much!!
Motul gear 300. If the trans is old/worn, Amsoil severe gear 75w90 - bascially a heavier weight oil. Synthetic/non synthetic are both fine
I don't see any sliders for sale online.. except reverse
I got a lot of replacement hard parts from AMP Distribution or OEM Nissan parts from overseas
I’m searching for T50 bearings I’ll work on the s14 later. Do you have any links for bearing kits for Toyotas
Thank you for the video! It's useful, like it. What did you use to remove bearings, gears and sleeve from the shafts?
Bearing splitter and 20ton press. I think a few bearings/gears needed a puller. IIRC front counter bearing need a specific SST. I cut the outer race to pull it off.

The Honda guys I race against remove 4-5 gears to reduce weight. Is is possible to do the same with a s13 5 speed.
I imagine there is some kit or gearset that allows removal of those gears. So it is possible is you or someone makes it.

4th should be direct drive 1:1. That may give you a clue. Ive actually only built one of thee transmissions and have little Nissan experience
I have an s14 and it does the exact same thing, input shaft bearing is guilty of giving problems.
@@jj205mi Luckily you can get brand new input shaft (4th gear set) for these trans. Toyota guys around the world should be jealous!

Labor will vary depending on your area. But customer invoice for part alone was about $800.
How much would you charge to rebuild mine? I have a fs5w71c in a 94 hardbody.
A ridiculously expensive amount. If you are still interested you can contact the shop.
mine was rebuilt for $700 8 years ago...94 hb 2.4...bearings synchros tx shop...
My Sr manual needs a rebuild....what's your address
dang bro u know ur sh*t
Much appreciated!
I want to ship one to you!
I tear down my Z24i engine but I ain't touching the tranny with a 10 ft pole lol
How much the cost for rebuilding s14 transmission?
You check our website and email us for inquires for work. But up front, if you are not ready to spend $3500 on a rebuild, consider and alternative.
If you paid for this how much would it be.
Use our contact us page on the website for work inquires. But beware! We build for time attack and restoration cars so if you have to ask price....
do you have an email .. would like a price quote to send you my transmission
