This is an interesting question, and I'm sorry the thread has fallen by
the wayside.  I was just catching up on some pleasure reading, and
noticed that (according to the FSM!) the '00 B15 Sentras all use an
RS5F70 transmission (A or V).  This is disappointing, because I had
hoped that the Altima used the same transmission [family].  Anyway...

It's been said that the B15 transmission is closely related to the
earlier SE-R transmission, but is about 15% stronger.  It also has a
hydraulically-actuated clutch, though, and uses a different mount
system, so I'm clearly not suggesting that you use it. :)  I just wanted
to compare some part numbers.

If only I could find out if the R&P set from the QG18DE's tranny (3.827:1)
will fit in my SE's (4.176:1) case.  It only makes sense, but I have to
ask. ;)
