I've looked into gear sets before for the Z. Slim pickin's. The people I talked to years ago, said it would be $$$$$ if they did it.

At least you got someone to talk to you.

True, They have went silent now since I asked for a billet input shaft. New tranny from Nissan is around 1800. Just the parts for an upgrade would be around 4 to 5k. That is not installed either. Most folks don't want to spend the 1800 for a new tranny. No way will they want to spend on just the upgraded gear set and synchro's.

What do you think install costs might be? $1500?

To install the gear sets? If the tranny is already out. I figure around $500 or so unless they have to do some machining. It's not hard to take a manual apart. Machining is a different story.

I've had the BorgWarner T10's, Super T10's and the Mopar Hemi trannies apart and swapped out the gear sets with either Nash or Liberty gear sets.

The last Nissan one I worked on you needed a press to press stuff on and off.

a press, pin punches, tons of pullers, a specialty non standard snapring pliers, 3 or 4 custom tools unless you want to spend a few hundred dollars on the kent moore stuff, and a bunch of other ****. I have been working on one of these bastards for a couple weeks now on and off. spend a couple hours trying to get a gear off, break down and order the specialty puller wait a few days to a week and then repeat.

LOL, this is the reason when my input shaft breaks I will just march on down to the Nissan dealer I worked at and order a new trans. You never know, I may get one just to have it when the time comes.

So....... in other words. Nissan engineers worked their magic on screwing a manual tranny.
