Transmission to use for swap.

KnightBird · 01-14-2004, 04:50 PM

Hi all. Ok i have recieved some very good advice here so far on my swap. Here is the kicker..

I own a 2003 Sentra GXE 1.8 with A/T. I am planning on swapping in a 92-94 SR20DE. Possibly DET if i can find one.. but i have a handful of DEs to choose from right now.

I want to keep with an automatic transmission.. i know, I'm a masochist. I was advised i needed the trasmission from a 2000 or 2001 Sentra with a 2.0 motor in it. Guess what? That part number according to the Nissan dealership is RE4F03B. The same unit bolted to my QG18DE right now. So i should be able to use my existing transmission afterall.

Any advice on a performance type torque converter for this transmission? Or an advanced shift kit? I can't find anyone locally who does automatic transmissions for import FWD cars.

Thanks in advance!

Contact Chimmike, he is a good resource for the QG18DEs. He is doing an SR20 swap in his car. He said he was advised by someone (can't remember who) that the 5-spd tranny that came with his QG would work with the SR20 he is looking to buy. So see if he can find out for you whether your automatic tranny may work with the SR20 or not.
