Main drive gear removed. (Countershaft drive gear needs to be removed first. It is still attached in the picture because there was so much play from bad bearings that the main drive gear fell out while pulling the countershaft drive gear out).

Where did you end up ordering parts?

I rebuilt mine 2 years ago with drivetrain.com parts and the synchros are gone about 1000 miles later.

 

Just ordered new stuff from nissanpartzone which is supposedly OEM dealer parts.

 

Sorry for the late response, I didn't get a notification for some reason.

 

I got my parts from an eBay store, so I'm not sure what quality they are actually in.  I really hope my synchros don't have a short life span.
