About Our Remanufactured FS5R30A Transmission
Have you been looking for a replacement Nissan FS5R30A transmission for sale? When you purchase a remanufactured FS5R30A transmission from Reman Transmission, you can be sure that you’re getting a very high-quality transmission for your Nissan that will last for years to come. If you already own a vehicle with an FS5R30A transmission, you're likely well aware of the issues that plague this 5-speed manual gearbox transmission. Even though the torque is powerful, third gear tends to be the weakest link, often failing the driver. This and other issues are common reasons why owners and mechanics are often looking for replacement FS5R30A transmissions. If you buy with Reman Transmission and purchase one of our remanufactured FS5R30A transmissions, your troubles will likely be over.
We take our remanufacturing process very seriously. For every transmission we sell, including the FS5R30A transmission, we conduct a range of rigid tests with strict protocols. This means that our customers receive a remanufactured transmission that’s in tip-top condition. The process involves many steps, all done by our specialized team of engineers and transmission experts. It also involves reverse engineering the FS5R30A transmission; along the way resolving any and all known problems from the original manufacturing. We replace or re-machine every component, that meets or exceeds the OEM specifications. That means that your replacement FS5R30A transmission, remanufactured by Reman Transmission, is a much better purchase decision than a rebuilt transmission.
One of the reasons for this is that a remanufactured FS5R30A transmission from Reman Transmission meets or exceeds the standard set by the OEM. Not only that, but factory recalls or defects are no longer your problem. Amazingly, relaxing your original, factory-built FS5R30A transmission with a remanufactured FS5R30A transmission from Reman Transmission may be the smartest thing you ever did for your Nissan. In many cases, you can expect an FS5R30A transmission lifespan that exceeds the average lifespan for this transmission model.
Reman Transmission also sells used FS5R30A transmissions. For some customers, a used transmission is their preference. Before selling our used transmissions, we do thorough inspections, making sure that the transmission is in working order. Only after that do we ship to our valued customers.
Another reason that so many individuals and commercial mechanics shop with us is that we stand behind our products. The FS5R30A remanufactured transmission comes fully backed by a 3-year, unlimited mileage warranty on parts and labor. If you opt for an FS5R30A used transmission, the warranty is six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. We only charge $398 for shipping.

FS5R30A History & Information
The FS5R30A, also known as the FS5R30, is a heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission manufactured by Nissan. This gearbox has been a cornerstone in the automotive industry, particularly in Nissan's lineup of high-performance and off-road vehicles. It has been employed in some of Nissan's most iconic models, including those equipped with RB26 and RB25DET engines, as well as the Skyline in 4WD configurations.
Engineered for durability and high performance, the FS5R30A is designed to handle elevated levels of torque and horsepower. This makes it an ideal choice for performance-oriented and heavy-duty applications. This particular transmission has a reputation for having smooth shifting, except for some problems with third gear, as reported by previous owners of vehicles fitted with the FS5R30A. Actually, it shares some internal design elements with the transmission used in the Z32 300ZX models, earning it the nickname "king daddy" of Z31 manual transmissions.
The FS5R30A is most commonly found in rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configurations, but it’s also been adapted for four-wheel-drive (4WD) applications, especially in models like the Nissan Skyline. While it isn’t typically used in front-wheel-drive (FWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations, its versatility makes it a suitable choice for a variety of vehicles, from sports cars to off-road trucks.
The FS5R30A succeeded the FS5W71C transmission, with the intent to offer a more robust and heavy-duty build. The FS5W71C was primarily used in non-turbo manual transmissions, but the FS5R30A was developed to meet the newer demands of turbocharged and high-performance engines.
One of the standout features of the Nissan fs5r30a manual transmission is its exceptional reliability, with fewer common issues compared to other transmissions in its class. Its heavy-duty nature makes it a solid choice for high-performance applications. For those who own a 1986 to 1995 4WD Truck or a 1987-1995 4WD Pathfinder, it's worth mentioning also that the FS5R30A was the standard manual transmission up until ’95. Officially, the FS5R30A came in the 1989 – 1996 Nissan 300ZX, 1992 – 1994 Nissan Hardbody D21, 1992 – 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, 1995 – 1997 Nissan Pickup, and 2000 – 2004 Nissan Xterra.
If you're looking for a replacement FS5R30A for sale, consider getting a Reman Transmission remanufactured or used one. Our remanufactured Nissan fs5r30a manual transmission will be better than any used one you can buy elsewhere, since we take care of resolving all known factory defects, in addition to replacing all components with new or re-machined parts.
