Fun times with 1993 300zx
So I was driving and the shifter in my 1993 300zx gets VERY wobbly / loose and I was quite confused. Apparently there is a part on a manual transmission 1993 300zx that fails a lot. The Shifter Support Bracket for the 1993 300zx just straight up busted on me…
Now the shifter would go into gear, and while in gear, it seemed fine. When you pulled it out it would rattle a bit since the shifter went down and hit the drive shaft so that was a bit odd for me. No pictures just yet but here is some info from someone else that had the same problem – LINK
After initial research I thought it was what this guy thought it was (the bushings) but after tearing apart the front dash of my 1993 Nissan 300zx I soon found out it wasnt.
Funny anecdote – I like to drive this car so I used some JB Weld to see if it would hold it in place until I could pick up a part. It worked for the past 3 days 🙂 I hope to take a picture of that too as an alternative so you can still kind of drive (carefully of course) without having the replacement part.
I found the part locally – Link @ Website Pit stop Performance in Phx so hopefully you can get this part at a local vendor if not these guys are good and can ship em to you. I called my local dealer and the guy said it was $170….. um.. I will take 40 dollars vs 170 any day!
Hope this may help someone searching google for a similar problem with their car.
