Those are the most common very rare failures. Most people have not changed any of that stuff and are running fine and will continue on. You can also add the 5th gear syncro is weak but its not common that people are replacing their manual trans out. Most people don't notice their diff mount is leaking till their upgrading it.

I disagree with "very rare" and "most have not changed any of that stuff". If "most people" don't notice their rear diff bushing blown that doesn't mean it's rare. Rather, it's common for people to just drive cars and not give a rats butt about maintenance, inspections, etc.

I'm not saying the Z is junk but it's certainly not without it's faults and any potential buyer who asks deserves to know the questionable areas rather than sugar coating it.
