Where your gear stick joins to the gearbox shifter thing, oil seems to be coming out from there and lubricating the area. What are the causes of this?

My thoughts are:

1: Over filling the gearbox with oil.

2: Somethings busted.

Can I get some helpful information please.

thanks.

:lol:

Most likely the rubber boot at the bottom of the gearstick has deteriorated (cracked torn). That was the case with mine. Replacement is $30-$40 from Nissan.

BTW, in a GTR the shifter is fitted to the top of the 4WD transfer case. So overfilling the gearbox would not cause a problem in that area, but overfilling the transfer case might. and the leaking fluid will be ATF.

^^ What he said. ^^ For future reference, do not attempt to fill your gearbox from the gear lever hole.

The rubber boot may even have popped out, but still in good condition.

There is a larger boot with a square base that goes over it, but that is there to block the road noise out and is not air tight.
