as far as im concerned,

if my tranny gives me any grief further than it does now, and requires anything more than the 100~$ for the filter and fluid replacement,

im gonna bite the bullet and get a 6spd.

i figure dont fix whats not broken, but dont fix something that is broken with cheap ****.

sure the $$ is there... but if you can fix it for cheap than do that.
but to spend any sum larger than that on a stock 4eat... silly
a 4.44 4heat will only run you about 5-600 depending on what wrecker you get it from... and that is easily what the tranny will cost you to "fix" if you take it anywhere.

do a cheap fix, and start hunting for the proper trans. imho, thats the only way. my tranny is on the way out, and when i find that perfect deal on the right 6mt, its on!

just sitting at work with nothing to do, thought i would chime in

That's why I like nissan. everything's mechanical, nothing to go wrong...

Of course, when it does go wrong, it's several thousand times more difficult to fix.
That's pretty funny, because Nissan has used the 4EAT in their cars.

Thanx for all the input, was afraid I'd be having to buy a new tranny which I wasn't looking forward to. An $88 piece is much cheaper
Well, it's an $88 part, but there's a bit of labor on top of that. Honestly, it's not difficult to get to, but it is going to cost you a few hours' worth. Besides that, I would absolutely recommend replacing the transfer clutch itself. The labor is the same, so it'd be a shame to have the new solenoid installed, then find out that the clutch is so badly worn that it doesn't engage correctly.

I have heard of people paying $800-$900 total for the repair, but I think that's a little high.
