Unicorn Part - 5-Speed 1st Gear Bushing

[Matthew Abate]

I am in the middle of having my 5 speed rebuilt and ran into a major issue. The shop tells me I can't move forward without replacing the 1st gear bushing (PN: 32253-14600), which turns out to be NLA. Not only is the original NLA, the supersessions seem to be as well.

If anyone (who isn't a scammer) wants to sell me one, please send me a direct message.

If anyone knows of an alternate part that isn't in the supersession list, please let me know!

Supersession Part Number: 32253-14611
Replaces: 32253-14600, 32253-14601

On the PartSouq website (https://partsouq.com/en/search/search?q=3225314611), a substitute to part 32253-14611 is 32253-V5210.

My trusty dog google sniffed this out.

You know what happened to unicorns?

@EuroDat is that first one a legit resource? Looks suspect given the other Nissan parts websites all say NLA.

@jerz I saw that, but was hoping to get my hands on one faster than Part Souq can get it to me. The things I’ve purchase there all took months to arrive.

I might try Amayama if I can’t get it faster than they can, which is the 26th.

Yes, It is a legit website and the parts looks original in box. I know one person that has used them in the past to buy parts for a 71C. It is a little expensive for you with shipping. You might be able to find something closer.

Looks like it’s my only option. Amayama is going to take 5 months. Nissanparts.at is 20 days.

Try calling Midwest Transmission

They specialize in Nissan transmissions. They did my 81  280zx trans and it turned out great. They may have or make the part.

You could try JP-CarParts. They list it as being available and generally only takes a couple of weeks through them after placing an order. Chat with them through Whatsapp before placing an order. Sometimes the part they find is not in stock by the supplier because the supplier hasn't updated their data.

Your part should be very easy for them to find because it was in a wide range of vehicles.

So @EuroDat, the place in Austria came through. It arrived on Monday, which was surprisingly fast shipping. I paid out the nose, but the shop only had to wait a week. Thanks for that!
