I'm quite new to manual transmissions so here goes...

I've just noticed that when I'm sitting in neutral there is a slight grinding noise eminating from the gearbox. When i hold down the clutch it goes away and obviously i can't check for the noise while in gear.

Should I be worried??? *GULP*:D

Gearbox rebuilds are generally labour intensive and therefore expensive (I would say between $600-1000 depending on whats required). However you have little to worry about until you start noticing the gearbox not performing, eg: popping out of gears, not going into gears, crunching on changes etc.

Just let it make noise until it breaks. Mines the same, my input shaft makes noise at idle and it sounds like a bunch of tin cans when in reverse. I just put up with it.

Well I only really get crunches when I'm lazy and don't hold the clutch properly, and there aren't any strange noises in reverse.

There has been one or two times when I haven't been able to get into 1st properly but i think thats when i didn't go into the centre properly.

So is the advice to leave it for now??

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
