My CSC failed... I'm doing this right now (removing the driveshaft at this moment). Your video is extremely helpful to give me confidence again to do the job myself, just like with the ACE kit, you make it look easy and you take the time to explain in detail, and film in detail as well. Thank you!!
@@HirschPower if you have the tools, time and place, it's easy. Just takes time. This was my first time as well, and Robert Carizon explained everything to perfection. What took me most of the time was to put the transmission back in, my mistake was buying the Harbor Freight transmission jack (like a small table, scissor jack non hydraulic). That one was not adjustable, only up and down. Get one like what he uses in this video. Otherwise it's easier to be strong, bear hug the transmission and align it like Rambo would without tools. That was the only frustrating part and was because of not having a good transmision jack.
I'll give you guys a tip with removing the knob. Get duck tape and cut a long piece out and loop it so it essentially becomes double-sided duck tape. Now wrap it around the knob, grab on to it and the hold will grip to both your skin and the knob and spin right off. You can do this with pretty much ANYTHING. I've never really ever had to use wrenches etc for stuff like this, plumbing, all sorts of pipe work because this works a treat as long as the surface is dry. Best part is... No damage!
I love how you just wiggled it and it came out. I have been over here wiggling and giggling it for good 20 min and it’s not coming apart, small gap but not all the way out. And yes I removed all the bolts
Did you get it out(a month later lol). Was everything in alignment to take strain off any given binding point? The more level and in line everything is...maybe even the slightest upwards force lifting transmission(level/don't let it sag). All those alignment pins and the input shaft/pressure plate...lot of places it could bind up.
Grat video. At this very moment I'm removing my transmission as well. Im following your steps as a "guide". So far pretty easy. Just to add, next time use the Performance Tool oil filter removal tool from a local auto parts store. Is a thick rubber strap with a handle. I removed my shift knob without a single scratch.
12:20 that is a flare wrench. Following your vid for visual reference for my 07 hr 350z transmission drop. Great DIY sir! I'm in South Arlington near the parks mall...not too far from ya
After a week getting my Z, I bought a Tomei aluminum shift knob. I used a curved jaw vise grips, wide rubber bands to remove my OEM shift knob. Hard lines with fluid in them, you can use vacuum rubber caps to prevent spills.
Great video! How delicate is the process of seperating the transmission from engine as to not damaging the input shaft? Worried about damaging the trans. Thanks !
I thought the same, and i just successfully did this without removing the shift knob. The re-install was a pain and it would be a lot easier to get to the 3 bolts attached to the plate below and the 4 bolts holding the shiter in place without the rubber boot being in the way. Invest in a swivel socket set.
@@alwayslast179 I've yet to do this, but watching several videos and looking through the shop manual. It appears that the three bolts from the shifter need to be removed to gain clearance.
Getting ready to do this, thanks for the great video! My 370z has the rear diff with cooling fins on the housing for some reason. So I can't jack it up from the diff. This it would be ok with just the front up? The trans won't be level so it will probably be a bit more difficult.
Awesome video, fantastic DIY. Quick question, was the trans able to roll out from underneath vehicle with the jack stands and trans jack you used? I am about to tackle the same project on my 09 G37 but I want to make sure I have it tall enough as I will be replacing trans.
On the 370z, with as high the car was jacked up (mentioned in the beginning) i was able to scoot the transmission back through the rear of the car, albeit with some tilting back and forth of the jack head to make clearance.
Quick question, what points of the car did you use your floor jack to your lift your car in the air and where are the strongest points to the jack stands? I m doing the same work to my Z this weekend, any pointers will help. Thanks in advance!!
I put the jack stands right behind the pinch welds, where the markings are for the scissor jacks. Jacked the car up from the sides initially, then when it was high enough, moved in from the front/rear with the larger floor jack. Used the differential for the rear jack point, and a piece of frame behind the engine for a front. Pretty much any solid piece of frame will do. Just make sure you get it high in the air to clear the bell housing, best of luck!
Do you HAVE to remove the transmission oil if your taking off the transmission and putting a new transmission front cover like you do on the CSC kit I had the CSC delete kit n going back to Oem style CSC.
I have a 2008 G37 Coupe... Got everything installed just can't find any torque specs for the transmission bolts. Absolutely nothing in my owners manual
Is there any trick to reinstalling the transmission back into place? I tried wrestling mine for hours yesterday and got absolutely nothing realigned properly. I opened the hole in the clutch fork area but the shaft never wanted to slide all the way in.
It is a pain in the ass, there really isn't much of a trick per say. Try to visually get it lined up as best you can, and then I grabbed it from the rear (using the support bars for the shift linkage) and started shaking it around to get it to slide in place. The transmission has to be lined up close to perfecy, the shift linkage support frame should be nearly touching the top of the transmission tunnel. Try rotating the spline a bit too in case it's not in sync with the engine in terms of the teeth meshing. Other than that, just check that there's nothing obstructing your way.
I have a problem w my g35x 2008 awd first gear over revs to 7000pms then will kick the gear in. After I’ll drive the car like normal and hits every gear perfectly. Please help. DESPERATE!!!!
How high did you need to jack your car off the ground to clear this? I have the Eso 10499 Low profile jack stands and I wonder if the "17inch" height is enough.
@@thecarizon504 My deaf ass somehow missed it but I appreciate that. Seems like i mmaayyyyyy want to invest in bigger jacks for the project. Still weighing my options if I should attenpt the csc delete and flywheel replace or have a shop do it. It's a tough decision :P
I haven't seen it done this way. I thinknit's possible but would require you to remove hoses and things from the back of the manifold to get enough room to lower in a wrench. Doing from below with extensions is these easiest way imo.
so i have 2007 350z HR touring and I noticed it comes with cd008 #1 and I was really confused because I thought would be CD009 now i see 370z have CD008 23:24 someone plzz explain
The backup lightswitchcanbe accessed without removing g that bracket.just thread out thecrossmember on thstside a tiny amount.. and ask your girlfriend to climb under car with you...and get her small hands to pinch the tab and remove the plug for you ;)
Thanks for the vid boss, hopefully won’t need it soon but hey you never know. What part of texas are you in? We were under tornado watch up here in North Dallas too haha
My God son grow some strength in your hands. Now you need a new shift nob. That was cringworthy like watching the potato President giving interviews to the public.
Just watched this guy booger his shift knob like that, it’s not that hard I’ve been a tech for years @140lbs you can twist them off. There’s no factory loctite or anything just grab and twist.
Not an easy job. Taking the time to record and share your knowledge is much appreciated.
Thank you for posting these DIY videos, there's not too many on the Z. Appreciated and very helpful!
For real
dude... this is absolutely the best video i've ever seen for any car ive had a DIY project on
Iv done several clutches in my day. For some reason this one intimidated me until I watched your videos! Thank you so much 🙏
I honestly don’t know if I could have pulled it off without these videos. Thank you!!
Glad they helped! Hope the install went smoothly!

How was it? I think my CSC also just failed so I'll have to do this soon. I've never dropped a transmission before so I'm pretty nervous about it.

If only I had all the tools I need at my disposal. This is such an in depth and awesome tutorial.
My shift knob was terribly hard to get off. Strap wrench works wonders though. Also, it will not mar the knob.
Thank you for your videos 🤘
Great video. I started yesterday (3 or 4 hours of work) and in between a few beers and many farts i was able to remove the transmission today.
Thank you so much man, just pulled my first ever transmission on my g35 and without this I doubt it could’ve done it

bruh doing an hr swap for the first time this helped me tremendously. THANK YOU!

love the detailed look at the trans drop and all the connector and connector attachment points.
I am getting ready to drop the transmission on my 2008 G37S coupe and this video will be a great reference during the process
Have you done it yet? If so, how long did it take you?
for the shift knob, pop the panel vice grip the shaft and then twist the knob while the vice grips are leveraged against ur knee
12:20 that is a flare wrench. Following your vid for visual reference for my 07 hr 350z transmission drop. Great DIY sir! I'm in South Arlington near the parks mall...not too far from ya

Just wanted to let you know that your video quality and content deserves more attention. Great job!
Thank you man, I really appreciate your time to make this video, huge thumbs up
You can use a rubber band monkey grip thing with an extended handle to get the shift knob off clean
Going to be doing the same to my 370z clutch started slipping later in the day during my first drift event.
Now is the time for those headers for sure!
U the best man, I hope my csc doesn't fail anytime soon but hey
This is super easy to follow man thank you my clutch is on the way out so this is super useful
Great video! How delicate is the process of seperating the transmission from engine as to not damaging the input shaft? Worried about damaging the trans. Thanks !
dope video like literally the best I've found so far. Thanks lol
Remember guys, it’s easy to take off it’s just a process so take your time 🙏🏾
In the process of removing mine right now in my 2008 350z. I’m 100% sure I have all the bolts out. Trans does not wanna separate from engine.
what did you do? what happenned i have the same problem
Thank you for this video as I'm considering doing this myself.
Did you do it?
What transmission jack is this? Mind me asking why you went with the zt csc upgrade as opposed to zspeed cmak? Clutch type not supported with cmak?
Very well made, omw to attempt to do my clutch rn wish me luck!
Awesome step-by-step instructions!!!
will be doing this on my 08 350z 💪🏽💪🏽
If you disconnect the shift linkage from below. Is it really necessary to remove the shift knob?

You can adjust the angle of the trans jack head to tilt the transmission in whatever way makes it easiest to pull it out.
yo you dropped this bro 👑
Did your transmission come with those 2 heavy rubber harmonics blocks?

@@thecarizon504 Thank you sir! Appreciate the advice 🙏
Try using a rubber band type oil filter remover to remove the shift knob without damage. It’s made to grip & crank. Cheaper than a new shift knob. 🤣
Do you HAVE to remove the transmission oil if your taking off the transmission and putting a new transmission front cover like you do on the CSC kit I had the CSC delete kit n going back to Oem style CSC.
Can’ you swap the output shaft or do you need a new transmission?
I have a 2008 G37 Coupe... Got everything installed just can't find any torque specs for the transmission bolts. Absolutely nothing in my owners manual
Hey man if you aren’t busy, do you mind telling me where the speed sensor is located?😳
The rear On the rear differential
The front Obed on the front wheels
Im assuming to put the transmission back in, you just do everything backwards?
Very detailed instructions. Awesome!
Love the videos bro. Great content
Do mind telling me what unit you have in your dash as far as the radio and stuff?
Looking to drop my trans but I can’t find any good video like this I have an automatic would this still be around the same concept?
Really close just swaped my auto on 08 g37 coupe I think there’s an extra sensor and no need to drop shifter but otherwise same
Yeah I ended up switching mine and can’t figure out why I have a rev limiter when out into driive and shifts are knocking
Did you end up needing to remove the crankshaft position sensor?
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Use a strap wrench for oil filters... or strapped pipe wrench. EZPZ and you don't damage your shit. Right tool / right job.
Yo he broke his shift knob! 😳
Is removing the w brace necessary in removing the driveshaft?
Is there any trick to reinstalling the transmission back into place? I tried wrestling mine for hours yesterday and got absolutely nothing realigned properly. I opened the hole in the clutch fork area but the shaft never wanted to slide all the way in.

The transmission has to be lined up close to perfecy, the shift linkage support frame should be nearly touching the top of the transmission tunnel.
Try rotating the spline a bit too in case it's not in sync with the engine in terms of the teeth meshing.
Other than that, just check that there's nothing obstructing your way.
Should I do this myself ? Or just pay 250 to get it installed ? Lol I don’t have a transmission stand Nd not enough tools
Whatd you do to stop the clutch fluid?
I have a problem w my g35x 2008 awd first gear over revs to 7000pms then will kick the gear in. After I’ll drive the car like normal and hits every gear perfectly. Please help. DESPERATE!!!!
Is this the stronger cd009 ?
Nicely done! Thank you.
Would this apply to an automatic for the most part also?
How high did you need to jack your car off the ground to clear this? I have the Eso 10499 Low profile jack stands and I wonder if the "17inch" height is enough.
I had mentioned early in the video, a little over 2 feet to the pinch welds, maybe 25 inches.

I have a 370z trans with a electrical type connection unlike the one u have where it’s a sold black plate that’s bolted on. U know wat that’s fir
Same for 350z hr’s Ik 370 and 350 hr trannys are compatible with each other but, i just wanna be sure.
The top bolts of the transmission can't removed from the top of the engine?
I haven't seen it done this way. I thinknit's possible but would require you to remove hoses and things from the back of the manifold to get enough room to lower in a wrench. Doing from below with extensions is these easiest way imo.
@@thecarizon504 on my 07 350 I could feel/touch them going in from behind the manifold. But don't think enough room to remove those from up top.
Is it the same process for a automatic?
Super good video man keep it up!
Is that stereo/screen stock? Huge!
No, that's the workshop 12 tablet dash kit
Thanks. I learn something new everyday.
What transmission is this. Is it a updated cd00. I have one left over from a 11 370z that we put a new one in
Don't know the model number, it's the oem from the 2016 base model

What fluid did u go with
Hey mate just a quick question.
Is the v35/g35 skyline cd009 the same gearbox as the 350z CDOO9
I believe so but don't take my word for it, wikipedia has the tranny listed
Thank you for this.
so i have 2007 350z HR touring and I noticed it comes with cd008 #1 and I was really confused because I thought would be CD009 now i see 370z have CD008 23:24 someone plzz explain
Next time un bolt the bracket then it will tilt you have more room for the tops bolts
Excellent excellent video.
you are a life saver!!!!
Whats the artist @ 14min?
04 g35 6MT trans fit a 350z 03?
Can't tell you for sure. I believe the trans is the same.

Love you 😘
I would put some steelis under each wheel just in case the jack stands fail for safety but who am i im no mechanic but yeah
me watching this tryna figure out where all the extra bolts i have came from.
Also tip you don't have to remove the shift knob
Anyone know the torque specs when you throw the transmission back on?
Google it
My God son grow some strength in your hands. Now you need a new shift nob. That was cringworthy like watching the potato President giving interviews to the public.

Hey any tips on before buying a 350z with a possible transmission issue?
What's happening? Probably not going to have too much advice.
