Just order the kit. The Service Bulletin provides complete instructions.

I went to nissan to ask them why my transmission was acting up with all teh gear grinds, getting locked out of gears and all those problems. All they had to say was it was all my fault that it was happening. I know its not true because it hasn't only happened to me i've also had the problem with the overheating clutch. I asked them if they knew if there was a service bulletin and they said no, there hasn't been any at all.
I think they were bull****ting me.

Yea, I've noticed that my clutch would get pretty hot sometimes. At first I thought my heater was on and directed to come out from the bottom.

Smile I love the search feature!

I just started noticing this clicking noise. It is SO annoying!

I'll be sure to take my car to the dealership about this.

Question-
Do you guys think I should take my aftermarket wheels off and put my OEM's on? I'm running 20's in the rear and 19's in the front-thanks!

Larry

I have the parts needed for you to sell...

I will get pricing on the parts

(bolts / spring washers / nuts) and post in this thread...

The only thing I can not sell is the grease, You can purchase it but it only comes in jugs and runs about $140

I just started noticing this too, and its bad its definitely getting worse. I know the dealership around here is going to be *******s about it because when I took my car in for the tranny t hey wouldnt replace it but another dealership 3 hours away didnt even hesitate.

Some other things I noticed looking through that provided tsb page is the side bolster wear.

Are tsb's covered only under warranties or are they like kind of recall thats covered any time?

I seriously wish I lived near you riverside and covina guys because you know what real service is.

A Service Bulletin will be done free under warranty.

A recall will be done free at any time.

Speaking of Clicking Axle, Just dropped off my car at the stealership again and they said since I have coilovers, they are not going to fix the clicking axle despite me showing them the TSB. Lubing is not going to make it go away (they need to replace the outer joint and bearing).

They even blamed it on the coilovers making the clicking sound despite I had the same problem before the coilovers. Any suggestions on this?

Take the coilovers off, back to stock, take to other dealership.
