i was driving in traffic today when my gearknob started rattling all over the place (3rd gear) it always did it a little bit, but when this was really noticable i thought it was going to jump out of gear. when i got home i got under the car whilst it was idling and there was the noise of a rooted bearing coming from the gearbox. so i was wondering whether its likely to be the thrust bearing or the input shaft bearing? the noise disappears when i push the clutch pedal in, which has me thinking its the input shaft bearing :(

if it goes away when u press clutch it could be input shaft, check condition of gearbox oil and maybe replace oil and see if it makes a difference...

they way it shakes around when in gear leads me to believe its fairly stuffed. i think ill pull the box out and replace both the input shaft and thrust bearings for good measure. unless anyone knows of anything else it might be? oh and i assume that the input shaft bearing is like other cars in the 34, that is you have to crack the case open to get it out, it cant be done through the front of the bell housing?

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
