That statement Proved that dealers don't know what they are talking about as the 2.8 has a totally different gearbox and it is not subject to the problem....!

The problem was introduced with the launch of the series 2 as they introduced the 3.0L engine to cater for more power/torque, the people who manufacture the gears suffed up with the tolerances, problem was resolved in november 2001.

Nissan should recall those vehicles 3.0L and 4.2s are affected.

That would mean admitting a problem, and shootin resale and possible new car sales in the bum!

They wont admit theres a problem.

and you shouldnt use 5th for towing much anyway.. Although my holden 90 model rodeo had 300,000klms with at least 100,000 of it towing never had a problem!

$377 and I fitted it.
It all comes as a big harnessed set. Just a matter of laying the wires & boxes out and screwing a few bits into place. I run a GU td and really wanted that peace of mind as a backup particularly in the outback. temps & o/p can be critical in diesels & I figured it's a lot cheaper than a new block.
