anyone know of a source of gearbox rebuild kits for a mk-86 5-speed?

not sure mate, im looking at another box for mine, if i buy it i'll go over it and check bearings and syncros, the syncros would probably come from nissan, and the bearings could come from nissan, a bearing shop or my work , anything else would likely be too specialised to be sold anywhere but nissan i'd imagine?
If anyone knows any different speak up!

Syncros ..... order from Nissan

Bearings .... the ones in the box have "part numbers" on em so any reputable bearing supplier can supply these.
A bearing supplier will be cheaper than Nissan genuine parts.... alot cheaper !

Kingy

Hi Guys does anyone have the specs for MQ 5 speed gearbox No FS5W81A. Mine needs a new bearing kit too.
Cheers Mike.

just pull it apart & take the bearings to a bearing joint, they'll have numbers on the sides of them - like 6308 - C3, the bearing shop will be able to match them up, goto nissan for the syncros.

Thanks Patroler, Has to come apart anyhow, so way to go!!
This is a great forum guys keep up the good work.

CBC does the complet kits

Well Done Procompman, thanks for that, I will check it out., Mate.
Cheers Mike.

I just rebuilt mine and when you come to getting the bearing with part number 63/32NC3 get the same bearing WITHOUT a groove in it, as the one with the groove costs around $1500, or thats the best price i could get but the one without only costs around $40, the groove is not required.

Thanks for that mate, big difference eh!!!!
Cheers Mike.

At last got the bearing Kit from CBC for $298.00 +Gst.
Pretty happy with that, its only took me 8 months to get around to it LOL.

Ok Guys well it is in, and test run it today no Probs, Quiet as its ever been, I will give it a longer run On Sat, see how it goes.
Cheers Mike.

how hard is it to do the bearings, is it something that can be done at home with a good puller set and a press? i'm tosing up doing mine or just getting a 2nd hand box. it in a rb30 gq

Gday Grinch,
Well I am no mechanic, but did mine easy, just like a mechano set, nuts and bolts really, once on the bench, bearing puller, Press, Perfect mate!!
Shouldnt have any trouble, I have the 5 speed Supplement if you need any diagrams or the 4 speed too.
The hardest bit was gettin it back in the vehicle, I was by myself took me 4 hours and still cud not get it lined up to locate spline, got my local mechanic to put it back in, took him 2 hours with 2 of them he said , was a B--ch.
Good luck have a go, if you buy a second hand one you will be only buying someone elses Probs I reckon, and it may not have been built properly, or it may be on the way out like the one you have now.
Fix it your self mate!!
Cheers Mike.

Hi Guys Just done 300kms so far and its been good (Touch Wood) Has anyone noticed how much heat comes from the gearbox Re:- Gear Stick Rubber Boot in the cab, it gets quite warm, mind you it did before I rebuilt the Gearbox, does any of yours do the same????
Cheers Mike.
