Thanks for the confirmation - I'll look into this on the weekend when I'm servicing the hubs.
Bearing in mind the ute has done 206,000K I think I'll change them anyway.
Can anyone recommend a supplier?
Cheers fellas

Some of these bushes are special to type and (unfortunately) the only place you may be able to get them is Nissan. I have seen selector bush kits at Rare Spares - but they were only for older model fords and holdens. Once you get them out measure them with a vernier and have a look around on the web - you never know.

This happens to me in 3rd when the gearbox is warm.. So in my circumstance I'd say my box needs repairing..
Will be changing out oil soon so will see if that helps, but I doubt it..
I replaced the nylon bushes on the geat stick selector but still no change. Just made the stick less sloppy..

Hey Westy - I recently changed my gearbox and transfer box oils with Red Line gear oil. A bit expensive bit highly recommend the stuff. Has reduced the slight noise I was experiencing when driving and I can now shift smoothly between gears where before there was a slight difficulty selecting first. Something to consider mate.

Again not 100% but I vaguely remember being told 1st has no syncro so down shifting is difficult..
Yea unsure if I'll go a synthetic or mineral oil..
I'll keep your choice in mind thou thanks

Mine did it when coasting down hill in 3rd as you took your foot off throttle, only seemed to do it off road but it did get a flogging, swapped out gear box and it solved problem.

You DON'T want to be in the High Country with a car that jumps out of gear. Could be deadly.

A friend of mine uses red line oil in his TD4.2 and service intervals are now every 100k
with filter change and oil top up every 10k
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

That's the sort of info I was getting before trying it. I used Liqui Moly before and didn't experience any real difference to performance from the oils I was using prior to that. I guess time will tell.
Hoping to upload some photos and introduce the ute this weekend.
