So I put the sensor back in, hooked up my "oscilloscope" and spun the driveshaft only to see no waveform. Then I pulled the sensor out and peered in and found that the gear inside the transmission is also worn down, although slightly more than the one of the sensor. With both of these worn down, they are just no longer grabbing. I'm happy because I've finally found the problem; but I don't think fixing this is worth it to me. I would have to disassemble the rear transmission casing in order replace that gear. Historically, I don't have good relationships with gaskets and aluminum cases. But, if someone chimes in saying that this is an easy disassembly I might consider it. Otherwise, I'm going to live without a speedo/odometer. Thanks for the help @Slartibartfast, your wisdom is much appreciated!2 points

It's easy to forget about the diffs. They don't need attention very often, so they get put off and forgotten about. For the most part, they seem to hold up alright anyway, so long as the oil doesn't leak out, water doesn't leak in, and you don't beat the hell out of them. Like most things, the diff will probably last longer and run better if you keep good lube in it, but it's not gonna turn into the other kind of pumpkin if you don't adhere to the schedule exactly. Reminds me, I should change the oil in my front diff at some point. For all I know, it's been in there since the truck left Kyushu.1 point

Finally installed the 180F unit in the truck last week. No codes, reaches operating temp a lot better. Case closed.1 point

Even with the higher quality of lubricants today Nissan still recommends every 30K for the Diff and Transmission for vehicles today. That said not many folllow it because many have the mindset that "maintenance is a scam!".1 point

If you don’t off-road or tow anything you can probably go longer on the differentials. Especially with the higher quality of todays lubricants. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk1 point

For Nissan Vehicles its good practice to go ahead and change the Diff Oil and Transmission oil(both auto and manual) every 30K. Simply helps keep things fresh and extends the life of all the parts1 point
