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

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.

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

I just want to tune it any news on SAS reflash?

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.

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

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

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 :blink:

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
