5spd related question.Help needed!!
I went to my Mechanic yesterday to check on the rear engine seal that i replaced a little over a month ago and when he lifted the car i noticed some oil again. The oil is coming from around the shifter bushing area. The rear seal is OK and so are the axles. I've done a little research and i believe I've found the problem but am not to sure. From what i saw the oil is coming from the Striking rod oil seal. Does anyone know if this part is inexpensive and if this is the only thing can actually leak in that area? I searched pinnacle Nissan along with a few other sites like that and i wasn't able to find anything about this seal. I also checked out Napa and couldn't find it.
So I'm wondering if this is the part that's actually leaking (striking rod oil seal) and if this is the only thing can leak around the shifter bushing area. I suppose the dealer should have this right? Thanks for the help I'm a when it comes to standard shift.
P.S. I found a Steering gear & linkage seal kit maybe this is what i need? I'm totally lost.

If you checked BOTH differential oil seals then the strike rod oil seal is probably. It could be the o ring on your VSS though, but that is on the top of the differential so your tranny would have to be really full to be leaking there.
The part number is for the strike rod oil seal is 32858-03E00 which is 7.74 from pinnacle nissan.

it's cool you guys brought up this thread again. I have an update.
So i changed the Striking rod oil seal with the boot. I also bought the urethane shifter bushing from Larrio here on the org. Everything feels wonderfull. The shifter bushing made a big difference, it feels more precise and i love the clicks it makes when you put it in gear. I also bought a razo shift **** today which weights 340grams (it's pretty damn heavy) but it's also a great investment. All i'm missing is the B&M STS which is coming soon.

Can anyone verify if there is a difference in part numbers for the driver side diff oil seal on a 93 for cars with limited slip and cars without limited slip? some parts places are saying that there is and they have different prices but the dealer is saying that there isn't..
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

The oil seal on the driver side is different on the 4th gens. The VLSD oil seal is much larger.
Not sure about your '93'. If you provide a VIN I could pull the actual nissan part numbers. (PM is fine for the VIN)

Dave, thanks a lot for your quick response. Due to increasing VIN scams I will not be sharing this information.. I'm sure you're not a scammer but I am very private with personal information on the web.
Is there no way to check without this information?
Thanks.

Well the pn's I have for a VLSD M/T car are:
pass side: 38342-81X01
driver side: 38342-51E00
That's for cars with a build date of 07/91 to 05/95.
In this case it doesn't look like the VIN is necessary.
