So if I am ordering new Raxles, and I will be getting a B15/P11 open diff tranny, then I need to tell them I need axles that fit the 98-99 SE-R/SE-L manufactured after 10/97?
They are all interchangeable. Atleast they are with the diff trans axles. I just put a B14 axle in my boys B15. Just get axles for the open diff. Use whatever year your car is. $.02
im loving my b15 tranny with vlsd, but i was wondering if anyone else has noticed having a hard time going into 3rd somtimes. never during nice, daily driving, but when your really going for it, and you hit 3rd gear hard. i never missed with my old tranny but now i find my self missing 3rd everyone now and then, i was wondering if its somthign to do with the linkage being a little different, or if it was just in my case.
Put the car in third gear, jack it up and go under there and verify that nothing is hitting. It may be where you had to grind it needs a little more off of it.
B13 Sentra SE-R's never came with open diff tranny's....
I know, you will have to buy a axle for the drivers side in open diff form from a sentra SE with a 2.0L motor in it. I believe they are years 98-01. Double check the years on that. Also you may be able to use a axle from a G20 that had an open diff. Not sure of that either. Not sure anyone has tried this yet, so you'll have to be the lab rat
nothing hits, it just doenst like to go into 3rd quickly. i guess thats what we'll have to live with...
It could be the trans fluid. I know my Shock proof heavy (red) makes the shifting tougher. I think I'm gonna try Royal Purple this time around and see if it helps any.
Slow 96 mine grinds sometimes too but I'm running the cheap stuff you get from the auto parts store. Maybe it's the Save a 3rd gear system nissan made. If you can't shift fast it will lasts longer lol.

here are the pics i took of my recent swap.. the first two are the sh*t rod, the third and fourth are the support rod. instead of having to take the trans out each time to get the fit right, i just disconnected the linkages. this requires you to jack up the engine and loosen the bolt ont he motor mount next to the stabilizer rod to get it out *** the bolt prevents the rod from coming out all the way.
anyway, I installed and pulled the linkages 10-12 times before i got them ground down enough. like coalition says, this is the hardest part. you have to grind a ton to get the two to clear each other
you can see i even ground down the bolt on the shift rod. for reference the two sides of the clevis on the shift rod were the same dimension before grinding,
Id say i ground about 3/16" off the shift rod and a .25 inch step in the support link
I finally got my trans in and did a hydro clutch swap also
the thing shifts like butter and with a lsd i can get my car to rotate instead of nose dive. its like night and day
FYI the B15 trans is quite a bit heavier than the non lsd b14 trans
I'll be doing a writeup after the semester ends on the hydro clutch swap. its amazingly straightforward
EDIT
I'd like to thank Coalition SE-L and myprojectB13 for the writeups and Slow96R for the tips and Yahnozha on G20.net for his writeup on P11 auto to manual swap. some good pics there even *** i my swap was manual to manual
Wow...this is what I love about this forum. Innovation. I have been enlightened. And what great timing for me. My clutch disk just exploded and I have the tranny off the car. This gave me the opportunity to actually gain something positive from this situation. I planned on putting a Nismo limited slip in my 99 tranny. Then I decided for that hefty price, I might be better off getting a 97 tranny and getting the much cheaper Nismo LSD for VLSD trannies. And then I found THIS thread.
Instead of a 97 tranny, hell just upgrade an LSD P11 tranny with a Nismo LSD and Driver Axle and throw them in. It looks very enticing, but the only thing holding me back is all the grinding. What I thought would be nice, is for someone to manufacture modified versions of the parts that need to be grinded, sort of a P11/B15 conversion kit! Anyone?

good luck finding a transmission, let alone one with LSD. it took me a month of online searching and phone calls. That was at the end of the race season ***.
it isn't that hard to grind. If you did all the other mods on your car, you can do this. its not so much as difficult as it is tedious.
