I have an approximate milage, but don't they record that when you check your car in?

They are supposed to ... but if you are not paying attention they might get to have some fun at the expense of your diff and tires ... I mean .. sounds shady that the wrong part came ... and they get to keep your car @ the dealership...

I have an auto and hear no such sound, im at 1040mi's. If I park on an incline/decline without setting my parking brake before putting the transmission in park then I hear the transmission "clunking" into gear but besides that--nothing.


Not saying this to stir the pot, just letting you know.

Same here. Only happens on my driveway when the car is at an angle.

I hear a clunk, but its only after I step on the clutch shortly after accelerating.

this is a clunk that has nothing to do with the transmission. It is in the rear axle area of the car, and they identified it to be the CV joint

I got this clicked noise at the rear end too, and I just had it fixed. What they did was to put some lubricant (grease) into the rear axle and noise was gone. They found out that the axle was dry and don't have enough grease. There is a TSB about this problem with 350z and g35 wayback 2 to 3 years ago.

Just needs a re-greasing like bradz said - I had mine done recently and no noise issues...

I can't find that TSB you are referring to. Do you have any links? Thanks!!

I don't think we are allowed to post links. Just search it in google "clicking noise from rear axle" and you'll find the answer.

That's not it though. No clicking, just a clunk.

***UPDATE***
Just got back from the Nissan dealer. The axle and CV joint part is on backorder and will ship on 8/20 from Japan and will be here on 8/24. There were no replacement parts in the entire US. Three weeks is a long time for me to drive the Altima loaner, so I suggested to swap the part with a new Z on the lot and they agreed. So I should be up and running later today.
