Sticky: 370Z Transmission Failures (6MT)

mike86 · 02-25-2021, 10:19 AM

Reviving the discussion to share some serious issues with my transmission.

In FSM found only end play for input shaft - almost no play allowed (0-0.1mm or 0-0.004in), but nothing for the output where propeler shaft mounts into.
My output side of transmission where propeler shaft connects to has pretty huge play side to side, which shouldn't be there because of bearings, right? In/out play, there's little

Except of the failing syncros I haven't read here about failing bearings on transmission shafts therefore I'm pretty surprised.
Mine's 2010 and has only 49k miles (78k km).

I've posted my issue with strange bouncy behavior of the car with videos already here:
Shaking accelration and deceleration
to see if anybody has had such an experience.

With such a play it's time for new transmission.
