3rd gear crunch
O.k so im not aware of this being a problem with the 5MT's... i literally just finished fixing an exhaust leak 15mins ago and now driving i notice ever so random and depending on speed there is a 3rd gear crunch... what could be the cause of that... seems like when i fix one issue and another comes up that has nothing to do with the previous issue

Are all of your mounts good?
I have 3rd gear crunch, AMSOIL GL-4 synthetic. poly mounts except the tranny mount. Rebuilt tranny a year ago and my shifter physically moves back and forth with throttle input. Under normal driving, it won't crutch. If I'm at redline at 2nd gear and I go into 3rd....it will crunch.
I'm stumped

My local Nissan Dealership carries Redline products... you could give your Nissan shop a call. Otherwise, here's a link to find retailsers:

Also, read up on Redline MT-85. It's a newer mix than MT-90, and I much preferred it over the MT-90 in my old Max.
Also, you probably already know this, but the more you secure your engine from movement, the smoother the shifting is.

140 weight is a little too heavy I think, but I can't really say anything negative about Royal Purple. Here's the proper weight in Royal Purple:

Negative. I just did my 5MT and it took less than 3 quarts. I am also running the newer Redline MT-85. I have a buddy in town that ones a performance shop and he always carries Redline. ATE Super Blue is going in the car on Thursday when I do the rotors and pads.

Order MT-85 and bleed the fauk out of your clutch and it should take care of it. It took the 3rd gear crunch out of my 5/5 permanently. I put it in my 5 speed AE trans i have now and it shifts like butter even with bad motor mounts. Its worth the money and the wait trust me. I test muled a bunch of gear oils in my 5/5 already. Hope this helps Hustle

I have the redline shockproof in my trans, previous owner had it put in when shop did the clutch. I was confused when I first seen it since it's a minty color. Maybe you should try it, lots have had good results with it. I still crunch sometimes though but for a 20 year old trans and one thats known for crunching in almost every gear, its pretty damn guuuddd.
