Revup used for non revups, interesting for non revups owners. Wonder if they are still using the G non rev pt# 10102-AM8M1 and get a new ECU with that. Otherwise I could see a revup short block with non rev heads during assembly. Then stockpiled in distribution warehouse along with #10102-AC7M9 G revup long blocks. Z's have different pt#'s with their rev and non rev's.

Wish you the best with your fresh VQ and tranny.
Again, thanks for the reply. FYI: part #10102-AC3M1 (ENGINE-BARE). Here is the trip: there is no transmission change notes on my Infinity invoice at all?

Hey, I had Infinity put an ACT (SS)clutch/flywheel combo in during engine install. Now I am getting a raspy trans sound like a very bad TO Bearing. Listening with mechanical stethoscope on the trans it sounds like trans rear main bearing. Any ideas? Or have you heard of noise problems with ACT clutch/flywheel?

See YA,
Tim

Thanx for the updated pt #. No notes on tranny replaced, nice gift from dealer I guess lol.

Heard many aftermarket clutch/fly with rattling sounds like idling in neutral, etc. Nature of those beasts without dual mass flys like OEM's. Nismo I read is real loud.

Not a clue really about tranny noises, being no personal experience. just what I've read. Think I've read a case or two with rear output shaft as well as what I've already mentioned prior.

FYI Non Revup Owners:

Part number I had is still valid. Part number 'tim' gave is valid too. Here's why.

# 10102-AM8M1 = 03-04 6MT's only.
# 10102-AC3M1 = 04-07 5AT's only.
What about part number for 03 5AT's? Bare long block not offered from my source.

OEM part number look-up:

You got ripped. All oil changes under the OC test are covered under warranty and the tsb. This is not a dealer gray area. they have to do it for free.

go back and rip the service manager a new one for thinking you are stupid, then call infiniti customer care and report what they did.

There are some really shady infiniti dealers out there. Kind of surprising. Luxury division dealers acting like private used car dealers.
