TO All w/ Rear Axle Clicking...
I'm not sure what each persons situation is but I recently went to a different dealer than I usually do and they fixed my clicking no questions asked.
Compared to my other dealer said the rear axle is not part of the powertrain warranty?
Heres my suggestion... to all w/ rear axle clicking and have full warranty etc. Go to other dealers around you... One will work!
I'm so happy they actually fixed this annoying click!
weeeeeeee

thats what i always told people bitching about bad dealer service. the stupid thing is, is that these people would keep on going back to the same sh*t dealer just because its 20 min closer than the alternative. a good dealer will not complain about doing warranty work, or try to add stupid "tune-up" packages, or try to convince you that what is obvious warranty work is not in fact covered.
oh and if you liked the dealers service, you should throw up their name and info in your post to help other z owners find a good place to take their car.
i used to be up in the NE region and i took my car to Eisenhauer Nissan for a warranty trans/clutch replacement and they did a great job, no problems, and they were quick. the price tag was a little high, but not compared to what most other dealers would charge you for the same service.

The clicking noise you are refering to.. what does it sound like? I have a similar noise when i frist pop the clutch and start movign its like click click click and then when im at 2k+ rpms its a hissing noise kinda like a turbo being pressurized...... i think its a bearing in my drivetrain or in one of my wheels.... my warranty is up so if the noise im describing is the one u got fixed how much would that be w/o warranty??

Just as a good measure, They should still fix it as there is the aformentioned tsb. It is as simple as pulling and lubing the drive axles in most cases and sometimes replacing locknuts and washers. They did mine no questions asked too.

They got consumers pretty good...I hate it...
I am pretty lucky that the particular service bay at the dealer I go to is honest and tries to do every thing they can. They own up and do good work. Wouldn't even think of charging that to someone I don't think. Then again...who knows...

yea i have the same problem. but i got my car from carmax and when i took it in to get the clicking fixed the guy told me it was because my aftermarket exhaust was rubbing on my diff. i laughed at him and said it wasent because my exhaust is about a inch away from any part of my diff. and on top of it the clicking was there before the new exhaust. so i am going to take it to nissan and have them inspect it and get it on paper that it is the axle

I will say that I have a good service bay behind me here - the guys do everything they can, own up, and do good work so far. I just got a new tranny in my 05 enthusiast under warranty...I had the Nismo clutch added for a discounted parts cost and no labor since the tranny was coming out...takes care of the throw out that I surmised was bad in the process so now things are happy happy. The nismo clutch is great - half the throw, half travel engagement spot on, crisp shifts...very smooth, but solid for sure...much heavier clutch pedal, btw...I have seen many bad service bays though...from acura/vw dealers that I worked at (which were deplorable) to honda dealerships that I have had to show head techs how to do specific work properly. I have had dodge dealerships all over the place lie to me about service issues and try to charge where they shouldn't on srt-4's til i found a gem. Good dealers are very rare.
