Thread: Pre-Purchase: 32V SR16VE Helical LSD

The whole transmission is filled with NSK bearing

update?

I'll let @bhowle give more detail if there is more detail to give.
Last I heard Bryan was waiting for the $180 diff bearing to come in. It was a big deal deciding if it was going to be needed for the install or not. In Bryan's case it made the most sense to purchase a new one.

Still no diff bearing, speedo drive gear or retainer. The dealership here is a joke.

Try Greg V? or give me part numbers and I will try get them from my local dealership?

Is bearing PN 38440D2100? Position 1.

googleing the bearing number, there seems like a there's a stack of them out there. or is the the part on post 209?

Yea, well... not sure if this is the bearing we do need. And its EUDM N14 open trans, probably same as AUDM N14. Not sure about VLSD trans bearings...

The bearing needed is specific to the VLSD trans. Post 209 shows the part number on the actual bearing. I removed it from a 1993 SE-R transmission. Nissan's part number for this bearing is 31408-31X08.

You do not need this bearing to install the MFactory diff. You only need to remove the race for this bearing from the trans case to shim the diff during installation. I need it because it has gone bad in the transmission I am installing the diff in.

Parts 100% necessary to install the MFactory unit: Passenger side bearing (p/n 32010, easily obtainable from O'Reilly, Advance, etc), speedometer drive gear (it's plastic and brittle, you may be able to remove it from your old diff and re-use it but I'd have a new one on hand just to be safe), and speedometer drive gear retainer.

The drive gear and retainer are dealer only items from what I've seen. I am sure that they are easily obtainable under normal circumstances. Unfortunately, I have been quite busy and my local dealer is very slack unless you stay on them relentlessly. I am going up there in person first thing tomorrow morning to straighten this out.
