That's why you are our #1 Subscriber!! Thanks dude 🙏🏻

Thanks for the explanations on how the synchros work and how to tell whether they are still good or have gone bad. Lots of videos explain how to do something but don’t take the time to show or explain how to tell when if a part is still good or bad.

I now know what part grinds when i miss shift, thank you lol

Yup its amazing how much a little piece of brass can take

Very great video!

There's a company in the UK that will fusion or laser weld 3rd gear. The synchros should have a shoulder of about 1mn, these are very prone to wear. They can be upgraded but still not perfect. Good video 👍🏻

Right the general design just isn't very good. There's also plenty of laser welding companies in the US, probably wouldn't be hard to convince one to give it a shot.

Dude you’re awesome! Gonna try this on mine. I blew my 3rd in my cd004 so screw it, why not

What was the part number on the 3rd gear? The one in the description says it's discontinued

Il like to upgrade my cd003.... do you know if the synchros or the whole 2nd gear fits like 3rd gear?

3rd gear worked between the cd009 and jk40c because they both have triple cone synchros. If second gear on the cd003 has triple cones then it might work.

@@Garage23 I think they upgraded second gear on cd009 3 vs 2 on the early models if those gears are interchangeable I'll buy a 350z project car🤞

Can you link the rebuild manual man!

Good idea! Link added to all videos under Description.

while the price for a new CD009 has increased a bit over the last two years, does it really make any sense to rebuild rather than replace? Maybe if you count your labor as free. It doesn’t if a shop charging labor is involved. .

It usually doesn't make sense to rebuild especially if you take into account the price of parts in the US. However if you source everything from Japan there is a small margin for profit. That being said this is mainly geared toward drivers who want to repair their existing gearbox.

just had my third split in half aswel. but you didnt explain why it was stuck and so hard to press off?

@Garage23

Im guessing it was because the inner portion of the gear that was cracked was binding up against the bearing

@@jackw6795 Correct, that's why ours wouldn't spin in any other gear, it was essentially in 2 gears at once. I wouldn't recommend driving on it, if this happens while driving it will lock up the wheels and potentially put you in a ditch.
