My zed seems to have gotten audible gearbox wise. Nothing major, but you can certainly hear it inside the cockpit with the t-tops on. Only in 2nd and 4th. Is it the bearings on that shaft that are on their way out or is it a lube related issue?

 

Still changes fine, not crunching.

I have this problem. I have been told there are a pair of rubber gaters that are there to stop noise from the gearbox entering the cockpit. It is possible that one of your gaters has broken and is letting the noise through. I am yet to investigate this problem myself and as I don't have a manual I am not sure of the configuration of these gaters. When I finally get round to it I will let you know how I get on if you haven't sorted it by then. Right now I have a dodgy wheel to attend to...

I've replaced those. Besides, it's only 2nd and 4th that make a funny wurring noise.

Hi Wolfman. If you take the centre console out to which the leather gearstick gaiter is attached, the two rubber gaiters are attached to a plate bolted to the tunnel with four bolts. easy peezy mate.

I also get this in only 2nd and 4th, strange how it's only the 2 gears in the bottom, as it were, position

There are 2 shafts in the gearbox. 2nd and 4th are on one, 1st 3rd and 5th are on another. I'm pretty sure it's the bearing. But I've read all about MT90...? This supposed to cure it?

ah excellent - does anyone know a place where I can get hold of a set?

Not quite correct....... 1st 2nd 3rd uses the layshaft........ 4th is 1:1 straight thru.... 5th uses 1:1 straight thu with overdrive on the end.

 

Go see nissan dealer for bearings, but they are not cheap.

 

HTH

........ But yes, MT90 is supposed to cure loads of problems in a manual gearbox. :) :D

I got mine from the local Nissan dealer, can't rememember the cost but not expensive.

Very, possibly the easiest job to do on a Z, other than wash it or changing the wiper blades! :rofl:
