Unfortunately, there are no simple aftermarket options at this point for manual transmission.
For drag racing, we have adapter plates and flywheels to use TH400's and Powerglides, capable of holding 1000+whp with ease when properly built.

SIR_pierre

ok. but drag racing is not something for me att all. i have Jim Wolf Clutch and flywheel. i changed the tranny oil to something better etc etc,.. and still it wasnt good enough,, i dont know if i dare to put a new oem tranny on the car

A new OEM transmission is really your only option though.

there really is nothing significant that can be done to strengthen the stock gears, which is why you don't see aftermarket upgrades except for motorsports level stuff (they are out there, but very, very, very expensive). The stock stuff is quite beefy, and stack up well to the strongest factory transmissions out there. As far as the synchros go, you could upgrade to the newest ones, which differ slightly.

When OS Giken was at our place a few weeks ago, there was some preliminary discussions about maybe offering different gear ratios, but nothing had been set in stone as of yet, it was just an idea they were considering

SIR_pierre

how expencive are we talking? over 10-15.000 dollar?

the Nismo modells have the same tranny right? what about the new RS modell?

and the new synchros i can just order from Nissan ??

expensive as in not much change left from $30k

Yes, the RS uses the same transmission - the RSC does not

yes they are factory Nissan parts, but you will need to coordinate with a dealership as to whether or not they can be swapped to "older" sleeves - I
ve been lucky in that my 04 has never had a transmission issue, so I've never had a reason to research it

SIR_pierre

WHOA!.....thats expencive.. i guess that whats the new RS modell use.

i know that the 06+ transmissions have more powerloss then the older ones.. maybe becuse they are stronger

I've never seen any evidence of this being true, or even heard such a thing

im curious, what caused your 3rd gear to go? what do you do with the car? track, etc?

-j

SIR_pierre

im not 100% sure but the car magazine Auto motor & sport tested it on a dyno


JasonZ-YA

yes i drive both on trach/hard daily and drifting. but when this happend i havent drove it hard for a long time and this happend on the freeway. and when i drove ot the freeway the problem started. first it felt like it wasnt really in gear.. and then i couldnt get it in att all. i doubble clutched. gave gas betwen etc etc.. and when i got it in 3rd gear and drove away the whole car jumped more or less.. and after that i didnt drive at all in 3rd gear
