Interesting. I had never considered blending to improve shifting. Thanks

Ok, got the Nissan part. It does measure 8.5mm in width. Dropped it off today at the shop...hoping to have it back this week and get the engine/trans back in the car. I'll confirm for sure once the car is up and running, but it looks like this should be it! IMG_6038 by blodi, on Flickr

Coll... I kind of figured that Nissan may have used the same parts on the Roadster 2000. Thanks for confirming. GL with the tranny. 

The Nissan synchro did work! Trans guy called last night and the trans is done. I'll be picking it up tonight. Hopefully installing engine/trans next weekend.
