Hello oranter,
I have just moved this topic from testimonials to mechanical please check before posting a new topics that it is in the correct place, thank you.

Regarding the gear sick it sounds like the spring under the gear sick is broken, gego is having a similar problem. http://nissan4x4ownersclub.co.uk/mo...c&t=5049&sid=ee6a0e838db5279d1ce605a4773b69d7

i have come across this 2 or 3 times. From inside if you remove the gear stick you will find a small black plastic cup at its base,,replace this and refit

Small plastic cup at the base. Is it right at the bottom where the ball of the gear stick sits in? I've got mine off now and its feels like metal and I'm struggling to get it out :twisted: CD Manual calls it bushing

I'm away on my travels tomorrow afternoon and don't want to order the wrong part before I go as I'm sure nissan won't have it in stock.

Fast info please

:smile:

Update fished out the plastic cup :smile:

Its not split but the hole (cup) must be worn and it came off the ball at the bottom of the gearstick I've put it back on and all is well :smile: Will probably come off again when I next drive the car.

Will order new one if nissan know what I'm talking aboot 8)

Will take some pics when I fit new one

Cheers for the info :smile:

[Jocky]

Can you post part number on here and I'll order one when I get back home in 2 weeks. The car won't be used by the wife. hahahaha
