He probably won't know. He just swaps entire assemblies.

 

I ran out of my warranty, so I was looking at paying out of pocket. I was told others just deal with the loud bang noise in shifting hard and it wouldn't effect other parts. I sure hope that is true. I have a 6 MT as well and I believe the MTs have more complaints since we slam second hard vs autos.

 

The first to second shift theory makes perfect sense! Guess I'll have to granny shift from now on

 

You're correct about the dealer. Swap the entire sub-frame and that's it.
I talked to the shop that tuned the car and they are also aware of this issue, especially with the 370z.
They charge 5hrs of labor to install the aftermarket bushing. I'll just wait and see how this one holds up.

 

they replaced the entire subframe; it seems such a waste.

 

Agreed! I even tried to get him to hold off on the part and install the aftermarket bushing instead but he's strictly by the book. There is a shop that will do it but will charge 4-5hrs labor.

 

Guys, this is really no different than the practice of swapping out the entire rear timing cover for the sake of a few gaskets, or like the complete steering wheel replacements they used to do to fix the steering wheel trim on the early V36 sedan (before they came out with a discrete part). The logic seems incomprehensible, but I'm pretty sure it's just bean counter stuff.

 

Problem....








Solution.... Along with other goodies

 

I'll probably do this when mine goes. Unless there's a reason to drop the rear end (Quaif or R&P).

 

What is that "bearing wheel" in Nissan packaging?

 

That would be an axle bearing (aka "other goodies")

Differential bearing for my 4.08 gears.

 

I just found out mine started leaking or showing dripping in the driveway today. So can I go for a bit before changing it, several months? I am a teacher and coach so I can probably get the recommended aftermarket bushing done in the summer.

I cannot risk my car being out for the moment so I do not want to think of attempting it yet. The dealer quoted $1600 for the dealer to fix it and there is no way I would consider that.

I'm about to purchase 4.08s... I thought all I needed was the gears and this set:
Nissan rear differential seals and bearings kit - 350z G35 370z G37

Is there a better option than that? What are the benefits? Thanks!!

 

But the kit. either Z1Motorsports kit or the Nismo shop. Thought it would've been cheaper buying parts individually.... It wasn't.
