Terra Firma Automotive supplies genuine Nissan transmission adjustment shims that enable precise internal setup during a Z32 manual gearbox rebuild. This 0.88 mm counter gear bearing shim is the exact OEM selective spacer used to fine-tune axial end play on the counter shaft (layshaft) rear bearing. Ground to Nissan’s exact thickness tolerance, it allows builders to achieve the factory-specified clearance that keeps the counter shaft stable, quiet, and properly aligned under load.
Correct counter shaft end play is critical for eliminating gear whine, preventing premature bearing failure, and ensuring smooth power flow through the transmission. Too much or too little play can cause noise, vibration, or accelerated wear. This authentic 0.88 mm shim gives you one of the key options needed to dial in perfect tolerances during reassembly.
At Terra Firma Automotive we stock the complete range of these selective shims so you can achieve a professional, factory-accurate rebuild. Whether you are overhauling a high-mileage twin-turbo transmission, refreshing bearings on a naturally aspirated model, or performing a full gearbox restoration on your 1989–1996 Fairlady Z or 1990–1996 300ZX, this 0.88 mm counter gear bearing shim is an essential piece for proper shaft positioning and long-term reliability.
