Crunching into 6th gear, no warranty -to fix or not to fix?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

My Z has been crunching into 6th gear since I got it, I have got used to it and can avoid the problem by letting the revs drop off before selecting 6th.

Obviously this is not ideal so I would like to get it fixed.

 

I know a few people have had it done under warranty, but mine is sadly out of warranty (and it was a private sale :headhurt: )

 

How much am I looking at for it to be fixed? I would most likely not use Nissan but an independant specialist (I find them cheaper and infinately better!)

 

Is it likely to cause further damage if left as it is?

Not sure on how much damage it causes, but IIRC the parts cost on my 4th - 6th syncro repair was about £600........ :blush:

2nd hand what?The entire gearbox? Is an option I suppose, would have to pretty unlucky to get another one with the same problem I suppose!

yep a complete gearbox, I'm sure I saw one on Ebay a few weeks ago for only a couple of hundred quid , a few hours labour at the garage and you'll have a cheap repair :)
