Nissan Fairlady/300ZX Z32 Manual Transmission Shim Counter Gear Bearing 0.96mm

Terra Firma Automotive supplies genuine Nissan transmission adjustment shims that allow precise setup of your Z32 manual gearbox. This 0.96 mm counter gear bearing shim is the exact OEM selective spacer used to control axial end play on the counter shaft (layshaft) bearing. Precision-ground to Nissan’s tight thickness tolerance, it ensures the counter shaft is positioned with the correct amount of play for smooth, quiet operation and long bearing life under the high torque and RPM stresses of both naturally aspirated and twin-turbo models.

Getting the counter shaft end play correct is one of the most important steps in a professional transmission rebuild. Too much play creates gear noise and accelerated wear, while too little can cause binding and overheating. This authentic 0.96 mm shim gives builders the ability to dial in factory-specified clearance during reassembly, resulting in quieter gears, smoother power delivery, and improved overall durability.

At Terra Firma Automotive we stock the full range of selective shims because they are critical for achieving a transmission that performs and lasts like new. Whether you are performing a complete gearbox overhaul on your twin-turbo, refreshing bearings on a high-mileage naturally aspirated car, or doing a thorough rebuild on your 1989–1996 Fairlady Z or 1990–1996 300ZX, this 0.96 mm counter gear bearing shim is an essential piece for proper internal geometry and reliable long-term performance.
