What transmission do I have.  Is it worth repair or need replace, can you make a recommendation?Answer:Your transmission is a Nissan Hardbody model FS5W71C, you have a couple of options, the first is to purchase a rebuilt unit the second optionIs to rebuild or have your transmission rebuilt locally.If you elect to purchase a rebuilt unit the correct part number is MTNIS003 your cost of this factory built dyno tested unit is $ 1366.67 plus a $350.00 core deposit plus freight.The factory rep has put together a list of probable parts that you will want to replace if you elect to overhaul the existing unit. See list below S&H will be added.If you need more technical information give Scott a call toll free 888-824-2012 he can help you, he can also help with the order.
