Greenbushy

90 Terrano, no rust very happy Greenbushy

The oil filter is different than the td 27 oil filter, the td 27t uses a combined oil filter/bypass filter, in Aus it is the Ryco Z416 or the Genuine Nissan 15208-20N10, note that the oil filter changed on Terranno td 27t's from 93 on, hope this helps Greenbushy

I ahve used Mobil devac mx 15w40 in my td 27t since i bought it 5 years ago at 218000km now and runs like it did when i bought it with no noticeable oil useage,, just gets better with age Greenbushy

Also i would suggest, having a complete trans oil change and running full synthetic trans fluid, these transmissions should run with synthetic fluid,,, they shift much better with synthetic too Greenbushy

Well after a 500 odd km round trip i can say for certain that a 4 wd Z24 gearbox will not fit a Td27, the bell housing stud pattern is different, oh well was a nice day for a drive ` Greenbushy

Thanks Vsicks yeah its mainly the stud pattern iam thinking of, as you may remember iam lookng for a 4wd gearbox for my Terrano and i found one advertised last night, its 250km away so would have been nice to know if it fitted before i went and looked, guess i'll have to hope for the best, its out of a 87 Pathy and i have a 90 Terrano. Greenbushy

Does anybody know if the WD21 Petrol gearbox the same as Desiel Box, thanks for any reples Greenbushy

I have had my Terrano for 4 years, and yes the oil filter is a pain, also keep a good eye on the air filter if you do a lot of dusty roads cause the filter will fill up quickly, it sucks air from inside the left gaurd and seems to suck lots of dust,, i made up a manifold and fitted a donaldson pre cleaner, hardly have to touch the filter now, here is a pic of my pre cleaner http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/gre...GP1224Small.jpg Greenbushy sorry can't seem to get pic into post but the above is the link fro anyone interested

ok so it can be done then, it would be my choice of way to go rather than trying to find another gearbox because i know the history on the 2wd gearbox i have and has been recently rebuilt, it may pay me to find a 4wd Navara and have a look at the box give me a better idea what it looks like thanks for the replies Greenbushy

Umm time to up date this, with my health starting to improve ( ive had pnemona ) ive ventioned down to the shed and looked at the 2wd gearbox, no way could i bolt the transfer case onto it as the shift mechanism is bolted to the rear of the gearbox,, oh well time to strat looking for a gearbox that will fit Greenbushy

Thanks for that info Vsicks, ya see the tranny or i think it may be he convertor died on my Terrano ,,, not sure what it is yet as ive been crook and haven't finished pulling it out yet,,, i think it maybe the convertor has stripped its splines which aperrently can happen to Terranos,, any how i picked up 88 2wd Navarra cheap and am looking at converting the Terrano to manual, i know the clutch pedal assembly will fit but wasnt sure about the trans case bolting to the 2wd gearbox,,, so thanks for the info, will keep you posted as to how it works out Greenbushy

Thanks Filthy, but i think you misuderstood me, what i mean is if i take the extension housing off the 2wd gearbox will the transfer case bolt up to the gearbox ,,, guess i'll have to try it and see,, will post the results when ive tried it Greenbushy

Just a question for any one that may know or have done this,, Will the tranfercase from a 90 4wd WD21 bolt onto a 88 2wd D21 gearbox, i know its a bit of a long shot question but someone may know,, Thanks Greenbushy

simple take it back to where you got the work done

I generaly leave my "at" switch in economy mode this mode really suits a diesel engine that doesnt really like revs,, exceptions are if iam towing, or doing lots of stop starts around town mainly to take off in 1st gear. Economy doesnt use 1st gear but starts off in 2nd in my Terrano i take it Pathfinders are the same ?? Greenbushy
