If we're talking about the 6spd manual, The versa, cube, and 2.0 sentra and 1.6 juke all have 6spds, But the part numbers for the transmissions and shifters are all different.
What I would look into is if its possible to make the shifter from one of the 2.5 sentras work in our cars and then buy a readily available kit for that.
Interesting on the part numbers. The prototype that Racingline was working on wasnt a shifter... it was a piece that bolts to the outside of the transmission case. I am not 100% sure how cable shifters work on fwd cars because I have never owned one until now. I am use to the shift rods that all you change is the pivot point of the shifter itself.
Here is a picture of Racingline's prototype - It doesnt look like its very complicated to make... I dont understand what the hold up is after all this time.
A true short shifter changes mechanical linkage between the shifter and transmission to speed up shifts, the external levers get shorter. Can't do it on cable shifters or trans with internal linkage like most are now.
Actually you can on shifter but the design cost of doing it is why you won't find one on a Versa, the cost is too high to make it worth it, you'll never sell them all.
A shorter STICK makes shifts faster but the stick shortened means increased force needed as you have lost leverage there, what length does.
I used to do all that stuff many many years ago on drag cars.
Just bought a used 2012 Versa SV 1.6 Sedan for my daughter. Of course, a few days after we got home, I noticed a few things in the engine bay that I didn't when looking it over on the lot. So, I have a few questions for you all. The first 2 questions are numbered in the still image, and the 3rd...
Has anyone attempted this swap yet? These engines have shared chassis over seas so I assume they have similar enough mounting points. This is something I want to research before too long myself, but If anyone has hard data on the topic yet that would be pretty dope.
I have general car question, not for my Versa, but for my sons car. My son has a 2001 Subaru Outback that appears to have a bad head gasket. He loses coolant and his engine oil is brownish color, milky-ish. (We recently replaced his radiator) From what I read online it seems to be the same...
I'd wondered about the problems associated with direct injection and what effect it would have on the Versa in the coming years. Today I started doing a little research and found out the HR16DE has two injectors per cylinder and is both port and direct injection so we should have the best of...
I am trying to under stand how to do preventive maintenance on a Nissan CVT. What I am trying to understand is
1. What is the most common cause of Nissan CVT failure? Is it too much load (like towing a heavy trailer)? Is it due to driving habit like constantly accelerating causing wear? Is it a...
