Hi guys,

I am an expat in Singapore and I need to replace the syncho 3 and 5. Anybody can give me the list of the parts to order. For info my synchro make noise when I am downshifting from 6 down to 5 and when I shift 4 to 5 with low RPM the 5th gear jump. I will replace the 3 aswell, knowing it is weak.

Any tech drowing apprecited.

Thank you very much.

Chris

 

Hi Chris,

I have the exact same problem as you're experiencing if the noise that you're talking about is a grinding noise. If you do some searching, you'll find that people tend to recommend an entire replacement of the transmission unit to the latest 009 model. It is quite expensive though, and I'm debating myself whether to replace or not.

Surely, I'm sure other more experienced members will be able to add to this.

 

i think im going to replace my 5th synchro as well, its easy to replace a transmission but with a used transmission you know its going to eventually happen again maybe sooner than later dependion on how the previous owner treated it, so might as well replace the synchros yourself (if you know how)

 

CD009's aren't ticking timebombs like the older units. Nissan beefed up the synco's big time. If you can find one in good shape I'd go that route.

 

Hi,
Thank you for the answer. Do you have any idea, how much it cost to replace the trans by one 2009? I am considering OS GIKEN close ratio gear kit which is around 4 to 5k USD.
It's costy, but I want to have a peace of mind, no more trans problem. Any advices?

Thank you.

Chris
