Nm35 Transmission Rebuild

[boostedaxis]

My nm35 transmission is slipping like crazy. It holds 1st 2nd 3rd but slips 4th and fifth. Who has rebuilt one?

What info can you share?

I think it was scotty who rebuilt his.

You can try and fit a valve body from the states and fill it with nissan fluid, It may last a bit longer and can be done with the box in the car, otherwise you will need to replace the clutch packs also, which means a full remove and rebuild. You are looking at around $3500 for that but I warn you, dont get them to high stall the converter or the trans ecu will have issues with locking it up. (as it ramps the voltage to the lockup clutch too slowly)

Kewish Automotive did mine, they have worked on similar boxes before but mine was their first M35 RE5. Shifts instantly and firmly at heavy throttle and softly at light throttle although there is still ecu lag when shifting.

Thanks for the reply. We just tried putting the nissan fluid in the box. No luck there it still slips.

Looks like rebuild time. So leave the stall converter stock is your advice.

I think i will limp it around for a few weeks

LOL @ light reading. Im going to limp it for a few weeks to digest the info.

I looking into a rebuild about 1 year ago. I was going to use Dominello's in Sydney.

If you are planning on building the motor up and wanting to run a standalone ECU can I suggest you looking into a Manual Valve Body as well. That way you should be able to have complete control of the gearbox without input from the motor ECU.

with the paddle shift that would be a wicked combo

i think you already said this, however.........

[boostedaxis]

No keeping it simple just rebuild upgrade the clutch packs. Not planning on rebuilding engine.

It might be i was looking at going down that road soon, but it looks as if it is the transmission first

I got a little bit of mapping stuff if you go down the fcon route and cant find someone to map it for you or want someone different to do it.

Actually, Sydney has 1 or 2 tuners that will tune the Fcon.

None in Vic.

yeh Scott!!

[scotty nm35]

Notice I said "properly".

[boostedaxis]

Anyone dealt with wholesale automatic transmissions in melbourne .

The tranny is a RE5R05A is it compatable with the RE5R05A's out of the other nissans. ie patrol, navara ect

Will a change over unit bolt straight on

[zei20l]

proably not. the internals might be the same. but i think the rear is different due to the attesa system.

[boostedaxis]

Yeh i just spoke to wholesale auto transmissions they said it is a rare transmission and they dont have any rebuilt stock. Lol wish full thinking.

I found a second hand one for $1250 That will get me out of trouble for a few months and give me time to rebuild my one

[boostedaxis]

Transmission let go today anyone know anybody with one.

My mechanic said it will take 3 weeks to rebuild.

Ouch. Mine took a month.

You could get on to the wreckers that bought the white M35, they might sell you a box cheap for 5k
