Help with a missing 6 speed manual transmission stop bolt
Hello,
Long story short I end up picking up a low millage 6th gen with a 6 speed manual transmission. The previous owner took the car to a shop due to a "no shift, stuck in reverse". After the mechanic removed the shift mechanism i believe he lost the bolt in the diagram. I have been trying to locate that bolt but Nissan tells me that it has been discontinued. I was hoping to find a fellow member who might have a broken tranny and is willing to spare that bolt or someone else who might have spare tranny on the shelve and can take a caliper to it so I can make one on the lathe. Beer money via paypal is guaranteed. The actual nissan part number is 32181-8H500 which was latter replaced with 32181-8H50A but both parts are no longer available. The bolt in question on the drawing is in pink "32999M". Thanks for the help in advance. http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/a...psw0bhjis1.jpg |
If you cannot scavenge the bolt from a u-pullit yard, look up bolt specs and thread pattern in the FSM and get a similar replacement from an industrial fasteners supplier. Ask for a grade 8-9 or high-strength bolt, and it will work fine.

You could also try looking at other vehicles that use a variant of this transmission. Tiburon, ser spec v, Celica GTS, Matrix XRS. (Other trans info pulled from here)

Try to approach Nissan directly. I have been lied to by the dealers stating that a part has been discontinued as soon as they heard a not so recent year. The greedy bastards want to sell you a new car. Crooks all of them. Then I went directly to Nissan and the person on the phone was like "Wut?"

That's my feeling about dealers too. Calling Nissan directly was something I did not think of. After all, yes, the car was manufactured in 2004 but it has 120K original miles so in my eyes this is a new car. One of my 5th gens just 250K miles old lol :laugh:. I will contact Nissan tomorrow and hopefully get an honest answer. May be i should tell them that a current owner of 2000 maxima, 2001 maxima 20th anniversary, 07 murano and newly currently acquired 04 maxima I would consider my self as a loyal brand customer lol |
No luck with Nissan. It looks like that bolt has just disappeared from the face of the earth

There are many parts i cannot,find anymore. https://www.nissanpartswebstore.com/...21818H50A.html that is exactly the website I found the part on. Also there was another dealer which showed it in stock but when I called the Evanston dealer they assured me that no one in the country has that part. I was super surprised when I say that the dealer in Evenston had the part. About 6-7 years ago I was in Chicago visiting and picking up some one from the airport when the IAC valve on my 5th gen all of a sudden decided to die on me. Not sure how or why but the Evanston dealer had one in stock. $360 latter and half an hour at the Target parking lot we were back on the road and luckily without a burned ECU :eek: . Some how they were the only dealer back then which had that valve in stock. I was sure that this time they would save me again with my unusual request but no luck. |
i would guarantee in Asia or Mexico these parts are somewhere ,but how do we find them?
