Bought an 2000 Xterra for my son 1.5 years ago with 180,000 miles.
Manual transmission. Only work done since we bought it was rocker cover gaskets.
I just got a text from my son saying
"On the way to school, first gear popped out and when I put it back in first gear, it acted like it was in neutral with a chatter. So I put it into 2nd gear and didn't use first gear again. Online it looks like a synchronizer is the problem."
Any ideas? Is this easy to fix ? I work on brakes, alternators, water pumps, etc... I have changed a clutch one time, but it was a 77 Ford Pickup. I am not sure I want to change a clutch on this car since it looks like you have to tilt the engine.
