Input shaft bearing

[Greg]

Hey guys,

I have a whining noise coming from my transmission. When i press the clutch in the noise goes away. From a search, i think i have determined that the cause of the noise is a worn input shaft bearing. Is this an expensive part to replace?

Cheers

Greg

greg , thats what the prob is . the bearing is cheap u can get it from any bearing shop ( not nissan ) but 4-5 hours work to r + r the gearbox then pull it apart to replace it and while u r at it u replace all bearings in it ( again not expensive ) and any syncros that may be worn ( not cheap ).

if the noise is very minor i would leave it as it is it may stay like that for a long time however if its very noisy u have to do it asap before it packs it in then pieces from it may damage the gears or other bearings .

thanks for confirming i think i'll wait until i need a new clutch and then do the lot at once...the noise isn't THAT bad, my passengers don't notice it.
