Like the title says....its a thin white smoke that kinda smells like burnin oil. Any suggestions?

The small rubber boot inside of your shift boot is likely to be torn.

Troof · 03-27-2009, 10:55 PM

perhaps something rubbing on the drive shaft excessively, happened to one of my homies.

^Bingo. It only gets worse. Pick up the new shit from nissan.

interesting. this just started happening to mine. thankfully i searched and found this exact thread.

so which rubber boot is torn? it wouldn't be the shift boot would it? is it perhaps beneath that some more?

the small rubber one that covers right on top of the shifter going into the transmission. below the shift boot and below the rubber "krinkle" boot.

Mine does the same thing randomly. I checked it, my rubber boot has 2 splits, 1 which i believe was supposed to be there and the other seems to have torn over time. Had some oil or some kind of fluid on it so i cleaned it.

dert420sx · 11-20-2009, 07:07 PM

thanks for the info guys!

guess i'll have to whip out the fsm and have at it this weekend.
another question: if mine is in fact cracked, is that a part that will typically still be available all the time at the dealers?

Just go to the dealer and buy a "lower shifter boot" it's like $5.

You're thinking too hard.
