Synlubes Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 It’s the main shaft nut. The rear tail housing (back cover) on the trany needs to be removed. The nut is on the mail shaft, big nut can’t miss it. (don’t know the size). If you have some mechanical skills it not difficult, maybe get yourself a Nissan Service manual for your year. Otherwise, take it to someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75280z Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 OK it was a little loose should i just tighten the fuw out of it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synlubes Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 If you can get the nut passed it`s old "stake" locations and "restake" it tightly, well mabye. . . The nut should really be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Later boxes had a left hand threaded nut, apparently to counter the loose nut problem. But even they can come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
