Terra Firma Automotive supplies genuine Nissan transmission gears that restore reliable and quiet reverse operation to your Z32. This reverse idler gear is the exact OEM gear that meshes with the main shaft reverse gear when reverse is selected. Precision-cut with the correct tooth count, helix angle, and surface hardening Nissan specified, it ensures smooth power transfer and minimal noise during reverse engagement.

Reverse gears in the Z32 often develop wear from frequent parking maneuvers and quick shifts, leading to grinding, whining, or difficult engagement. This authentic replacement gear restores proper meshing and quiet operation while protecting the reverse synchro ring, sleeve, and shift fork from accelerated wear. Its factory-correct dimensions guarantee perfect fitment and alignment with the reverse idler shaft and counter gear.

At Terra Firma Automotive we focus on these hard-to-find transmission internals that are essential for a complete and reliable rebuild. Whether you are addressing noisy or grinding reverse on your twin-turbo, rebuilding a high-mileage gearbox, or performing a full transmission overhaul on your 1989–1996 Fairlady Z or 1990–1996 300ZX, this reverse idler gear returns the reverse system to factory-fresh performance.
