Gu 3rd Gear vibration

Post by flyreels »

Hi I am looking at buying a Nissan 2002 Gu III 4.8 L 5 speed manual. I have only taken this one for a test drive (as in Tassie there are very few for sale) and would like to know if when in 3 rd gear the gear lever has a reasonable amount of vibration coming through it as this one did. Even if you hold the gear lever you can still feel the vibrations coming from the gearbox. It changed gears perfectly, no sign of any synchro wear in any of the gears, it changed nice and smoothly and no whines or noises in any of the gears, just a shudder through the gear lever in 3rd gear.
It has only 60,000 on it with all service history.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Thanks Peter

Is it normal to get this shudder through the gear lever in 3rd gear?
Thanks Peter
