Gaskets

>135I · 04-28-2009, 10:05 PM

I am coming up on my break-in mileage and I was thinking about changing out my trans and rear dif gear oil with some Royal Purple MaxGear 75W90. In the manual it says to replace drain plug gasket and filler gasket for the trans and rear dif. My question is are the gaskets Nissan only parts because I couldnt find them at Checkers Auto and does any one have a rough idea on how much they cost?? Thank you in advance..

I'm kinda curious too, I haven't even begun to look at the process of swapping my rear diff lube, but it's on the list.

Would be happy to post a DIY. I just hope it does not cost $100 a gasket.

I've already done this. You get the gaskets from the parts dept. at a dealership. They are $2.60 a piece and you need four of them (two for the diff, two for the trans). Part no. 11026-4N200.

You will need a special tool to get the fluid back in. The fill plugs are on the side and up at the top, and you can't just pour the fluid back in, even with a funnel, because you can't get the bottle of fluid above the fill holes. I used this tool that looks kinda like a caulking gun with a flexible tube on the end. You fill up the gun with the fluid and insert the tube into the fill hole, then push the fluid in from the bottom up.
