JDM 1989–1994 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R FS5R30A 5-Speed AWD Manual Transmission – RB26DETT Push Type

Replace your grinding, noisy, damaged, or failed gearbox with a low-mileage JDM Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R FS5R30A 5-speed manual AWD transmission from J-Spec Auto Sports.

This genuine Nissan transmission targets compatible 1989–1994 Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 / BNR32 models equipped with the legendary RB26DETT 2.6L twin-turbo inline-six engine and ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive.

Nissan’s factory R32 GT-R workshop manual identifies the transmission as FS5R30A, model number 05U10. The factory gearbox uses five forward gears and works with the GT-R’s AWD transfer system.

The current J-Spec listing identifies this exact inventory unit as Item ID 3127, describes it as a push-type 5-speed AWD transmission, and states that the slave cylinder is not included.

Because R32 GT-R, R33 GT-R, non-GT-R Skyline, and RWD-converted Nissan transmissions can look similar at a glance, always verify the complete transmission configuration before installation.

Nissan FS5R30A Transmission Specifications

The FS5R30A is Nissan’s heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission used in the R32 GT-R.

Unlike the lighter 5-speed gearboxes used in many non-GT-R Skylines, the FS5R30A was engineered for the higher torque load and AWD drivetrain of the RB26DETT-powered GT-R.

Factory Gear Ratios

1st Gear: 3.214
2nd Gear: 1.925
3rd Gear: 1.302
4th Gear: 1.000
5th Gear: 0.752
Reverse: 3.369

Nissan’s R32 GT-R workshop manual confirms these ratios for the FS5R30A / 05U10 transmission.

The factory R32 GT-R drivetrain commonly uses a 4.111 final-drive ratio. That combination provides strong acceleration while keeping fifth gear suitable for road use.

Important: This Is an FS5R30A, Not a Non-GT-R Skyline 5-Speed

This distinction is critical.

J-Spec Auto Sports also carries Nissan Skyline 5-speed transmissions for RB20 and RB25 non-GT-R applications. Those are different products.

For this listing, the correct identity is:

R32 GT-R → RB26DETT → FS5R30A → 5-Speed Manual → AWD

Do not advertise this as a generic “RB transmission.”

That phrase is too broad and can attract customers looking for an R32 GTS-T, R33 GTS25-T, Laurel, Cefiro, or other RWD RB-powered application.

RB26DETT Engine Application

The R32 GT-R pairs the FS5R30A with Nissan’s RB26DETT 2.6L twin-turbo inline-six engine.

Therefore, the product page should clearly connect:

RB26DETT + BNR32 + FS5R30A

Those three identifiers are among the most important search terms for customers looking for the correct original-style GT-R transmission.

AWD / ATTESA E-TS Drivetrain

The R32 GT-R does not use a conventional rear-wheel-drive manual gearbox.

Instead, the transmission works with Nissan’s ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, which sends torque to the rear wheels under normal conditions and can transfer torque forward when needed.

Therefore, this transmission includes AWD-specific drivetrain architecture that differentiates it from a standard RWD Skyline transmission.

Do not confuse this unit with your separate J-Spec R32 GT-R AWD-to-RWD converted transmission listing. That is a modified product intended for different applications.

Push-Type Clutch Configuration

The current J-Spec listing identifies this as a push-type manual transmission.

That clutch-release detail should remain prominent because R32 and later GT-R transmissions can differ in clutch-release configuration.

Before installation, compare:

• Clutch fork
• Release bearing
• Pivot arrangement
• Slave-cylinder location
• Pressure plate
• Flywheel
• Clutch disc

Most importantly, do not assume that a later R33 GT-R pull-type setup uses the same clutch-release hardware.

R32 GT-R vs. R33 GT-R Transmission

Both the R32 and R33 GT-R use FS5R30A-family 5-speed manual transmissions, but clutch-release configuration and production revisions can differ.

Your J-Spec R33 GT-R listing specifically identifies the later transmission as pull type, while this R32 unit is listed as push type.

Therefore:

R32 GT-R → Push Type

Later R33 GT-R → Pull Type

should remain visible in your fitment guidance.

Do not advertise the two units as identical without confirming the exact transmission configuration.

R32 GT-R vs. R34 GT-R Transmission

The R34 GT-R uses a completely different 6-speed Getrag transmission.

Therefore, do not confuse the R32 FS5R30A with the R34 six-speed gearbox.

The R32/R33 FS5R30A ratios are:

3.214 / 1.925 / 1.302 / 1.000 / 0.752

while the R34 Getrag uses six forward ratios and a different final-drive setup.

The R32 transmission should be marketed specifically as:

Factory-style R32 GT-R 5-speed AWD transmission

rather than simply a “Skyline GT-R transmission.”

Factory 4.111 Final Drive

The R32 GT-R commonly uses a 4.111 final-drive ratio with the factory 5-speed transmission.

That ratio works with the complete AWD drivetrain, including front and rear differential gearing.

Therefore, customers performing conversions or mixing drivetrain components should verify the complete front-to-rear ratio before operation.

An incorrect ratio can create severe AWD binding and drivetrain damage.

Actual Product Photos

J-Spec Auto Sports provides actual inventory photos for this Item 3127 transmission.

Keep those photos prominent.

For a rare GT-R drivetrain component, actual product photography allows buyers to inspect:

• Case condition
• Bellhousing
• Transfer section
• Shifter housing
• Sensors
• Mounting areas
• Fluid leaks
• Damaged castings
• Clutch-release components

before purchase.

Recommended Maintenance Before Installation

A used manual transmission should receive basic preventive service before installation.

Doing this work while the gearbox remains outside the vehicle can save substantial labor later.

Replace the Transmission Fluid

Nissan’s R32 GT-R workshop manual specifies approximately 4.1 liters of GL-4 75W-90 gear oil for the FS5R30A.

Before installation:

• Drain the existing fluid.
• Inspect the oil for metal debris.
• Check the magnetic drain plug.
• Look for unusual bearing material.
• Refill with the correct GL-4 75W-90 gear oil.

Do not use a lubricant simply because it says “gear oil” on the bottle.

Use a fluid compatible with the synchronizer requirements of the FS5R30A.

Inspect the Clutch

Since the transmission is already removed, inspect the complete clutch assembly.

Check:

• Clutch disc
• Pressure plate
• Flywheel
• Release bearing
• Clutch fork
• Pivot
• Slave cylinder
• Hydraulic lines

If the clutch has significant mileage or wear, replacing it now can save another transmission removal later.

Inspect the Push-Type Release System

Because this is a push-type transmission, verify the correct release hardware before installation.

Inspect:

• Fork condition
• Pivot wear
• Release bearing
• Bearing collar
• Slave-cylinder pushrod alignment

Incorrect clutch-release geometry can cause incomplete disengagement, grinding, and synchronizer damage.

Inspect the Flywheel

Check the flywheel for:

• Heat spots
• Cracking
• Grooves
• Warping
• Damaged ring gear
• Excessive wear

Resurface or replace the flywheel according to the clutch manufacturer’s specifications.

Inspect the Transfer Case Section

Because this is an AWD GT-R transmission, inspect the transfer section carefully.

Look for:

• Fluid leaks
• Damaged output splines
• Bearing play
• Cracks
• Damaged mounting areas
• Evidence of overheating

The AWD transfer system is a major part of what distinguishes this gearbox from a normal RWD Skyline transmission.

Inspect Transmission Seals

Check accessible seals before installation.

Pay close attention to:

• Input shaft area
• Rear/output seals
• Transfer-case seals
• Shifter seals
• Case mating surfaces

Replace worn or leaking seals while access remains easy.

Inspect the Rear Main Seal

Transmission removal exposes the back of the RB26DETT engine.

Therefore, inspect the rear main seal for engine-oil leakage.

If leakage exists, repair it before installing the replacement transmission.

Inspect Transmission Mounts

Check the transmission mount and crossmember components for:

• Cracking
• Separation
• Excessive movement
• Damaged hardware
• Bent brackets

Worn mounts can create drivetrain vibration and poor shift feel.

Inspect Driveshaft Components

Because the GT-R uses AWD, inspect both the relevant front and rear driveline connections.

Check:

• Splines
• Flanges
• U-joints or CV joints
• Center support components
• Bolts
• Alignment

A damaged driveshaft component can produce vibration that may be mistaken for a transmission problem.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Before installation:

• Confirm R32 GT-R / BNR32 application.
• Verify FS5R30A transmission identification.
• Confirm push-type clutch configuration.
• Confirm RB26DETT application.
• Verify AWD transfer configuration.
• Compare JDM and original transmissions.
• Inspect clutch disc.
• Inspect pressure plate.
• Inspect flywheel.
• Replace worn release bearing.
• Inspect clutch fork and pivot.
• Check transmission seals.
• Check transfer-case seals.
• Inspect rear main seal.
• Check transmission mount.
• Inspect driveshafts.
• Replace transmission fluid.
• Confirm all electrical switches.
• Torque all fasteners correctly.

Initial Startup and Road Test

Before driving, operate the clutch and shift through all gears while the vehicle remains stationary.

Confirm:

• Reverse
• First
• Second
• Third
• Fourth
• Fifth

Next, begin with a gentle road test.

Monitor:

• Clutch engagement
• Shift quality
• Synchronizer operation
• Transmission whine
• Transfer-case noise
• AWD behavior
• Driveline vibration
• Gear pop-out
• Fluid leaks

Avoid hard launches, clutch kicks, or aggressive shifting until normal operation has been confirmed.

Afterward, inspect the gearbox and transfer section for leaks.

Common Signs of R32 GT-R Transmission Problems

A worn FS5R30A may produce:

• Gear grinding
• Difficult shifting
• Synchronizer wear
• Third-gear problems
• Gear pop-out
• Bearing noise
• Transmission whine
• Transfer-case noise
• Fluid leaks
• Driveline vibration

The FS5R30A is also known in the enthusiast community for third-gear stress under aggressive high-power use.

However, not every shifting problem requires transmission replacement.

For example, a dragging clutch, worn release system, incorrect oil, damaged mounts, or driveline problems can create similar symptoms.

Therefore, diagnose the complete drivetrain before replacing the gearbox.
