Sentra SE-R Spec V - $1300

Seems like a decent price. A friend had one new and it was a ridiculous fun for what it was.

Wait a minute, Since when does reverse have a synchro? I admit that I have never torn down one of these 6 speeds, or even a FWD trans, but I have never seen a syncro on a reverse. Am I wrong? On my Z, if it won't go in rev, put it in first to stop everything, then back into reverse.

Curious about this as well. I think my Saab 9000 had a reverse synchro, but doesn't seem to me like an issue requiring teardown and replacement.

If the guy is talking to scrapyards to unload it, seems like this should be a very sub $1k purchase if you show up with a dolly and cash.

160k with the original exhaust manifold? Probably needs a motor as well.

My thoughts exactly.

Too much money for the risk that it's sucking oil.

Wow, just did a bit of googleation into this oil burning thing .

So basically while the engine is out for the rebuild, you crack the trans to replace the reverse synchro?

Guess that explains why he was calling scrapyards.
I love that I learn something everyday on GRM!

A lot of newer transmissions. The newest Japanese non-synchro reverse I can think of was my '85 RX-7 - they got synchros in '86.

Doesn't the V6 fit into those?

In reply to Brett_Murphy:

Why yes, yes it does. With a little work, it'll take a 3.5 V6.

If it came with one from the factory, I'd still have mine. Always loved the car, hated the fact that I didn't trust the QR25. I, too, would assume stock precat + 160K =

In reply to kazoospec:

Yep, I came here to say exactly that.

what about SR20DE or SR20VE? you may give up the 6 speed and LSD but is engine longevity worth that much? in this case (QR25DE) probably.

Also back in the day I put these seats in my 240sx, prettttty cushy.
