taffyjason Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 is that the same gearbox that sits in the 2007 model? Quote
DannyBoy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Nope, it's a CD009 from a MY'06 VQ35DE Rev-up. The gearboxes from HR engined cars won't fit, something to do with the clutch slave cylinder I think. The CD009 is basically the same as the earlier boxes but with triple and double-cone synchros where they're needed. will probably still be noisey/clunky but will hopefully stop 2nd and 3rd crunching (crosses fingers).

MFM Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 What exactly is the problem with the box Yes how is it ruining............... Mike Quote
DannyBoy Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 It's ruining it because any shift into 2nd or 3rd results in a loud crunch unless slowly double clutched or rev-matched. It's been a handy teaching tool for advanced shifting techniques, but frankly i'm sick to death of it. You ever tried to drive a car without synchros? DB Quote
taffyjason Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 ouch, that would drive me nuts too when its cold 2nd gear is almost inaccessible, makes off the line driving difficult Quote
Iwantone Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 im told the gearbox in the early Zed is the Nissan Navara gearbox, hence its rather clunky nature, Does anyone know if this is actually correct? Steve Quote
