i jus came bak after test driving it....noise comes doesn't matter if the car is running or idling...if i let the clutch go while idling noise comes back and depress the clutch everything is so quite....and i noticed that it comes in 1st gear more actually it gets quieter as u r shifting into next gear...higher the gear less the noise...if its something else it shouldn't be coming while idling rite? it has to do something with tranny and clutch pedal...not disengaging / engaging properly? could be release bearing?

 

isb is going out. that's why Greeny doesn't have a VE, anymore.

 

isb?...can u go in a lil more details?....plus if i shift to 4th gear where i should be shifting into 3rd theres no noise....

 

that's why you slip a piece of hose over the nipple on the gear oils bottle cap and stick the other end in the hole.

 

Input shaft bearing.

 

so is that it? i m sure it can be repaired...probably not cost effective even if u do it ur self?....and its not confirmed either that it is isb...

 

brian......... you and your logic.

anyhow.. if it grinds even at idle, and pushing the clutch is the only way to make it shut up (short of shutting the car off) then it's almost certainly the ISB.

It might be fairly pricey to have done at a shop, but in order to PROPERLY do it yourself, you would need a tool to remeasure the shims for the bearings so that your input shaft endplay is correct. and i'm not sure if it's a generic tool, or if the only place you can get it is from Nissan. Look at the section starting on MT-29 in the 94 FSM for more information about setting bearing preload and what equipment you would need to do it. And while you're in there might want to replace the input shaft oil seal as well to help prevent future leaks.

 

simply i will have to take the tranny out eh?..

 

How about a video of this phenomenon? That would clear up all the conjecture

 

basically. not terribly difficult tho... if you drain the tranny ahead of time (like last thing at night, then wake up and start working on the car in the morning) you can get the sucker out in 45 minutes flat. reinstallation takes slightly longer, but as long as you don't touch the clutch (ie so it stays dead-center over the flywheel) it usually lines up pretty easily when you are sliding it back on.

 

ok..i will make a video of it
i get wut u saying....but its alot of work and i dont wanna do this mess at home...u have done it many times and it is easier to u...i m doing the manual tranny work on MAXIMA first time so its gonna take time for me....its different if i done it so many times and know exactly wat i m doing....i will jus take it to shop and diagnose it more..it might be something else...plus i will make a video as well....anyways lets keep trying to find a solution

 

i could make you a list of instructions and assuming you have all the tools you'd need, if you followed it to the letter you could have the sucker out in 90 minutes tops. the only difference is the position of the intake and rear-side vacuum items and whatever that the VE has (compared to the VG) so you might have to move this-and-that out of the way to get to some of the bolts.
