I'll Miss You, 5th Gear
Fun stuff always seems to happen to me. Sort one issue, another is sure to surface.
While driving today, my 5th gear seems to have disappeared, completely. It went from engaging just fine to not engaging at all, just lightly grinding when trying to drive. It's time to crack open the case. Being the realist I am, I'm planning for the worst.
As far as repair goes, I need the most cost-effective way to get this back running while keeping my LSD. As easy as it would be to just buy another LSD transmission and throw it in, I'm nearly positive cracking this one open and repairing the gear stack will be much, much cheaper.
Can I use the gear stack from a non-LSD transmission and put it in my case to repair it? Also, anyone have any experience with this? I know that I'll need any help I can get to make sure this goes smoothly. Lastly, if anyone local has a transmission I can cannibalize for a decent price, let me know.
Thanks in advance guys. Nissan has a way of always keeping things interesting
