so I just got my Z back from the dealer after having them replace my trans due to a 3rd gear grind and fix a leak coming from the rear differential (which happened to show up right after I had them do the axle clicking TSB). here is what they replaced for the trans:

30210-CD020 COVER ASSY
30502-69F10 BEARING REH01AA R&I MT ASSY
30100-CD019 DISC ASSY
32010-CD008 TRANS

looks to me like a new clutch, pressure plate and trans. although I don't know what the 4th item is, anyone know? as for the trans, it doesn't feel all that much better than my previous trans, its still somewhat clunky and notchy so I guess I'll just have to see if I end up with the same issues later.

as for the rear differential leaking thing this is what they replaced:

55400-CD020 MEMBER COM

I would assume that they would just replace the differential cover but I don't think thats what they did. can anyone give me some input? maybe andy or jason?

thanks

4th item is throw out bearing. your diff. item could just be a gasket.

 

I thought it might be, however I didn't think it was part of the normal items they replace under warranty with a trans. anyone else have an idea of what the differential item is or know of a website that you can search via nissan part #?

 

The suspension members is the COMPLETE rear suspension mounting....

its #17 in this image... its what everything bolts on to...

 

thanks jason!!! any idea why they would be replacing that in response to a leak from the rear differential?

oh and hows your s14 project coming along?

 

not sure why they would replace that whole thing! thast alot of work...

did you have that new fuel evap warranty work?


S14 is doing good... just starting to pile up parts everywhere... installed NISMO suspension / power brace / kazama tension rods... have the rest of the Kazama arms sitting here and my 5MT swap parts... when my girlfriend goes out of town for 2 weeks ill be wrenching

 

yeah, they decided they'd do the recall w/o asking me. but why would they change out a suspension member for that, unless they fuct they thing up when they were doing the recall work? damn it.

sounds like your project is coming along. are you working towards a drifting platform? there are lots of guys here in hawaii selling their s13's and s14's along with lots of parts due to the track closure. I sympothize with the gfriend being outta town thing, you can get so much more done w/o having to entertain them can't wait to see the end result.

 

anyone want to venture a guess as to why they would change out the suspension member?

 

+1! They're recommending it to me!

Yeah, HELLA BUMP from the past!
