“Early” refers to the original design of the 3rd/4th shifter insert used from the start of Z32 production (1989) until approximately February 1993. Nissan made small running changes to the shifter mechanism during production, resulting in three main versions.
Terra Firma Automotive supplies genuine Nissan transmission shift components that restore precise gate feel and positive detent action. This early 3rd & 4th gear shifter insert is the exact OEM piece that guides the shift rail and provides tactile feedback when selecting third or fourth gear. It features Nissan’s original early-production geometry for correct centering and resistance.
Worn shifter inserts commonly cause vague, loose, or imprecise shifting in the middle gears. This authentic replacement brings back the crisp, well-defined feel that makes the Z32 manual so engaging.
