Nissan Fairlady/300ZX Z32 Manual Transmission Main Shaft Needle Bearing 3rd

Terra Firma Automotive supplies genuine Nissan transmission bearings that keep your Z32 manual gearbox operating with factory smoothness and durability. This 3rd gear main shaft needle bearing is the exact OEM component that supports the 3rd gear on the main shaft inside the transmission. Precision-manufactured by Nissan with the correct roller dimensions, cage design, and material hardness, it ensures low-friction rotation and proper load distribution under the high torque and shifting stresses of both naturally aspirated and twin-turbo applications.

Worn or damaged 3rd gear needle bearings are a common source of grinding noises, notchy shifts into third, or premature gear wear in high-mileage Z32 manuals. Replacing this bearing during a rebuild or repair restores smooth, quiet gear engagement and helps prevent further damage to the main shaft and synchronizers. Its exact tolerances deliver the same precise fit and long service life as the original factory assembly.

At Terra Firma Automotive we stock these critical internal transmission parts so enthusiasts can achieve professional-level rebuilds without compromise. Whether you are fully disassembling the gearbox on your twin-turbo for a performance refresh, addressing shifting issues on a naturally aspirated model, or completing a thorough transmission overhaul on your 1989–1996 Fairlady Z or 1990–1996 300ZX, this 3rd gear needle bearing is key to returning the drivetrain to reliable, factory-spec performance.
