Nissan paid for 5th gear and labour in GU

I think it shows good customer service (even though at times people have had to nudge them a little) and a faith in it's products despite the fact that this prob can be traced back to 1999 models. Always good to hear good news Jon.

Hello Jon
what year is your Patrol ??....I also have gearbox probs , mines a 2000 4.2 turbo diesel........Cheers DAVE

Hi Dave

My Patrol is a Feb 2000 model 4.2 TD with 170,000 on the clock. Started with a shudder at low speed in 5th which was not rpesent in 4th at the same road speed. Just got progressively worse. Initially though unis or diff but replacement didn't fix problem. Now the box is better than new :-)

Nissan were very good and simply did it without question. I must admit I have not always had this sort of response from Nissan but this certainly makes up for a lot of niggles in the past.

Hmmm..
Nissan recently rebuilt my 5th gear on my Dec-1999 build TD4.2-T, but charged me $100 excess on the extended warranty. It does state that in the warranty book, but it seems that I'd have come out of it cheaper if I didn't have the extended warranty, since it looks like they're rebuilding them way beyond the normal warranty.
Anyway, it's fine now.
