Research notes

Caveats and conflicts (8)
  • Wikipedia G35 article does not name the box. 2006 G35 owner manual (archive.org) has no code.
  • Wikipedia G35 article does not name the box.
  • Wikipedia says an updated CD009 manual came with the Jan 2005 Rev-up engine (35th Anniversary, Track); CD009 is the common casting name for the Z33/V35 box.
  • Manual is the 2004.5 shop manual (covers 2004 model year).
  • Manual is the 2004.5 shop manual.
  • Doubtful: the code matches the earlier 350Z box and may have been copied. Candidates seen elsewhere: RS6F94R, CD00A. Owner manuals opened on archive.org do not name the box. Nissan parts site blocked the shell.
  • Retailer fitment table names only 2014 Frontier and 2008-2014 Xterra; other years in this row assumed the same 6-speed (not confirmed). Nissan OEM parts site (parts.nissanusa.com) returned 403.
  • Retailer fitment table covers Xterra 2008-2014 only; 2005-2007 and 2015 assumed the same 6-speed (not confirmed). Nissan OEM parts site (parts.nissanusa.com) returned 403.
