Terra Firma Automotive supplies genuine Nissan transmission gears that restore reliable reverse operation to your Z32. This reverse counter gear (also known as the reverse idler gear) is the exact OEM component responsible for driving the reverse gear when selected. Precision-cut with the correct tooth profile, helix angle, and hardening treatment Nissan specified, it ensures smooth and quiet engagement into reverse while handling the unique loading that reverse gear experiences.
A worn or damaged reverse counter gear is a common cause of grinding, difficulty selecting reverse, or complete loss of reverse function in Z32 manuals. This authentic replacement restores strong, positive reverse engagement and helps prevent further damage to the reverse synchro, shift fork, and main shaft. Its factory-correct dimensions guarantee perfect meshing with the reverse gear and countershaft.
At Terra Firma Automotive we focus on supplying these critical transmission gears that are often hard to find in good condition. Whether you are rebuilding a noisy or failing gearbox on your twin-turbo, addressing reverse issues on a naturally aspirated model, or performing a complete transmission overhaul on your 1989–1996 Fairlady Z or 1990–1996 300ZX, this reverse counter gear returns proper function and durability to the reverse system.
