Hi guys.. ive been searching, reading and calling around for 2 days.. i got a great line on a CD009 trans for my 2005 6mt DE engine car...46k miles, 500 bucks.

Ive been told to look for an FS part # of FS6R31A.. where the heck wouold we find that?
I called Forged this morning and they said " they are all the same as long as its a cd009"... but i read tere are differences elsewhere.. HELP MEH!

He ran my VIN and it says "cd009s work from cars manufactured 07/04-11/06"

Again mines an 05...

I simply dont want an expensive trans that will end up useless if i trusted the wrong info. Heres the pics i was sent.





the trans im buying is the top one in the picture.


Also, is there anything i should look for when i go pick it up?
Telltale signs of abuse or premature wear? I hear theres really no way to tell.

009 is 009. My understanding is that they are all identical until you get to the HR motors (07) and then the mounts and suck are different. $500 sounds like a solid price as well. If the splines on the shaft are good that is about the only thing you can really check prior to install if the fuild is already drained.

Hey for $500 even if it doesn't work you can always sell it, you could probably even make a little money if you don't have to pay for shipping.

guess we shall see.
After all the reading im thinking my trans issues are a misaligned shifter plate upon reassembly.
But i just sold me box, so this is a wash in terms of cash flow.. and its 60k less miles on it than what i have at the shop now.. albeit mine is clean as a hosptial tool.

I just had my cd009 replaced under warranty and it was replaced with something with a shitty reverse lockout "brand new from Nissan". I've learned that if it's not broke, not to fix it, haha.

true true.. the more i touch it , the more i start to go blind.. mom always said.. i shouldve listened.. ha. Its more true w this darn car.

BUT.. when youre entire drivetrain is 100k old and in tiny cleaned pieces separated on a pallette awaiting reassembly.. its a great time to sneak newer parts in.

This trans has me beat by 60k miles.. and my existing trans is grinding gears.. ruining the feel and enjoyment of driving it totally... no bueno.

Well i bought it btw.. picking it up today at five.

so u were told it wouldnt fit in an 03Z? and is it a direct bolt on? and where did u find it for $500...cheapest i found was $1700

used and local from a guy who grabbed it out of a car that came thru his dealership to use on a 240 project... he decide to LS swap since he had an ls block already..
Im sure he got the trans free, hence my low price.

hey does anyone know the end all facts on what parts i need to swap from my other transmission to use in the cd009?

if i cant get an answer here i will have to start another thread.. but i hate to flood the site w threads concerning roughly the same topic.

I can change the title if you want....instead of you creating a new thread.

bmccann101

iTrader: (16)

yep. fer sure.. how about
"CDXXX to CD009 swap.. what parts stay/go?!"

thanks.. I hate reading multiple threads on basically the same thing from the same guy..

its like seeing a hot piece of tail at work walk by and make you double take.... just to realize its the girl from accouting youre already hittin... you THOUGHT it was brand new! but it in fact was just the same ol.
So disappointing.

What happened with ur trans. Too much fappin while driving ?

bmccann101

iTrader: (16)

havent installed it yet.. motors still being built.. my trans is fine, it just has 100k on it and i got this for 500 bucks.. which was pocket change at the time.

I cant fap while driving a 6mt stick. Two sticks in hand makes you Homo. Im pretty sure i read that somewhere. haha.
