NISSAN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS: THE MOST POPULAR FOR 2020

Send

For almost 90 years of its existence, the Nissan company has firmly taken its place in the top ten world car brands. In Japan, Nissan Motor has been firmly in third place for several decades, leaving behind such venerable manufacturers as Toyota and Honda.

The production credo of Nissan remains constant modernization and improvement of familiar brands. The priority is not the production of new concepts, but the development of original systems and units with which the model range is equipped.

That is why one of the important directions of development for 60 years has been the production of its own motors and transmissions. Which Nissan manual transmissions have survived time and remain the most popular in 2020, why do many drivers choose configurations with proven and even slightly outdated manual transmissions from Nissan and do not change them to modern CVTs and automatic transmissions? We offer TOP-6 manual transmissions from Nissan.

Nissan Patrol GR

The fifth and sixth generation Nissan Patrol Y61-Y62, which has been produced from 1997 and 2010 to the present, has a complete set with two types of boxes - a five- and six-speed "mechanics" and a five- or seven-speed "automatic".

The most productive, reliable and popular is the manual transmission, which is installed on the fifth and sixth generations and has a factory index FS5R50B.

The advantage of the original manual transmission is its high resource. Drivers note that the first overhaul of the box begins after a run of 300,000 km, and this is on Russian roads. A reliable and powerful unit corresponds to the model's credo - the legendary SUV has conquered everyone since its release.

Good news for connoisseurs of simple and familiar "mechanics" is that the company does not plan to completely remove the manual transmission from the series. The seventh generation Nissan Patrol, which was presented in September 2019 at the Abu Dhabi Motor Show, is equipped with two types of automatic transmissions with 7 steps, but the release of the sixth generation, which has been under construction for 9 years, is not stopped.

And in the series there are four variants of the box: two manual transmissions for 5 and 6 gears and two "automatic" for 5 and 7 steps.

Nissan x-trail

The K2 class SUV entered the market 20 years ago, and starting from the second generation, four transmission options were available in the configuration. This is a 6-speed manual transmission and "automatic", a continuously variable automatic CVT variator and the development of a variator with a manual shift option M-CVT.

The first Nissan CVTs were not very reliable - they were vulnerable parts of the transmission, which required high-quality oil and a special operating mode. But this cannot be said about a mechanical box.

The unit is chosen for active drive and for city trips. The most reliable is the Nissan manual gearbox with serial number RSF652A GF42 F6555, 072W0005941 for the M9R engine. Average resource - 250,000 km.

Nissan juke

The Nissan Juke urban crossover also boasts a reliable and popular manual transmission. Petrol configurations offer a choice of a five- or six-speed "mechanics" or a classic "automatic".

In terms of reliability, the Juk manual transmission is not inferior to similar units from Volkswagen, the boxes for which are supplied by Ford. The average resource of the unit is from 300,000 km.

According to auto repairmen, problems with manual transmission on Nissan Juke account for less than 1% of all malfunctions of a five-year-old car. That is why complete sets with mechanical transmissions are chosen more often than similar ones with “automatic”, although the cost differs by only a few tens of thousands of rubles.

The only thing that the manual transmission is demanding for is the timely refilling and oil change. If there is a minimum amount of grease in the sump, the gearshift mechanism responds instantly with a slight hum.

Nissan navara

For several years in a row, the pickup became the leader among similar trim levels in the world. A reliable and unpretentious small-class truck does not differ in a large selection of control options and high comfort. But it's the best car for the job.

The reliability of the model is ensured by productive diesel units and reliable gearboxes, the most popular for more than 10 years is the 6-speed "mechanics", which is installed on a 2.5-liter dCi with a capacity of 190 hp. from. third generation Nissan Navara.

Officially, a frame pickup is not supplied to the Russian Federation - the assembly has been established in Japan, Indonesia and Argentina, but this does not prevent the model from being recognizable and popular in Russia. The manual transmission has a high resource - from 250,000 km. Since 2014, after modernization, the box has received a modified set of gear ratios and more precise tuning. As a result, the lever travel is shorter and more precise.

For a frame pickup, a mechanic remains the best transmission option, manual control allows you to move on difficult roads with full control of the control. In addition, the equipment with a manual transmission is more economical than with an automatic gearbox - both assemblies are characteristic of Navar.

Of the features of the manual transmission, the exactingness to the quality of the transmission fluid remains. The manufacturer insists on using only the original 75W-90 standard oil, it must be replaced every 55-60 thousand mileage.

The craftsmen believe that this box, which is reliable in all respects, also has a weak point - the rapid wear of seals and oil seals, which leads to oil leakage. Therefore, the driver must constantly monitor consumables and change at the first sign of a leak.

Nissan skyline

The first racing Skyline was presented to the public back in 1957. Since then, the model has received a large number of updates, alterations and improvements, and in 2020 fans are conquered by the all-wheel drive racing Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, which in 2017 became the best production supercar. Naturally, the model is equipped with a mechanical gearbox as the main element of the transmission.

The most popular and productive is the manual transmission for the tenth generation Nissan Skyline R34 - the Nissan unit has a factory index RB25DET and provides a resource of 350,000 km. mileage.

The advantages of the "thick" box include the ease of troubleshooting, which many drivers carry out on their own. By the way, a contract six-year manual transmission assembly on Skyline after a run of 100,000 km costs from 100 thousand rubles.

Nissan Sentra

Starting in 2020, manual transmissions on the legendary Nissan Sentra sedan can only be ordered to order, the eighth generation is equipped with an automatic transmission. This is Jatco's Xtronic CVT. But the seventh generation continues to roll off the assembly line, and the popular model with the "eternal" 6-speed "mechanics" from Nissan remains available to motorists.

The engine range of the seventh generation of the front-wheel drive sedan is represented by two gasoline engines with a capacity of 132 and 188 liters. Each of the motors is aggregated either by a manual transmission, or by the first generation of the Xtronic CVT variator. Automatic transmission after significant modifications shows itself not worse than "mechanics" and has a similar resource. Both checkpoints serve 250,000 km each.

The engineering department of the corporation does not plan to curtail developments on the further improvement of mechanical transmissions, so it is too early to plan that in the near future the manual transmissions from Nissan will leave the market.
