Cd009 Transmission

[V(35)Powarh!]

Hi guys the dreaded 3rd gear is going on my 04 v35 coupe. Only normal changes will do, anything harder and it will struggle. Do i need to change it asap or i can leave it till later in future? Also i am looking to salvage a cd009 tranny from the wreckers, can anyone advise which models 350z/v35 i will find the cd009 transmission?Or even the sedans? Otherwise id have to source brand new from the states. Cheers

I'm guessing 3rd gear is absolutely fine, and the synchro isn't spinning up fast enough for you. A replacement synchro is less than $100 but the cost of someone to install it would blow out no doubt.

Have you tried changing fluids? These boxes don't like gunk under the synchro, may I suggest you run some dextron3 through it first before giving up on a perfectly good box?
