Ah ok. My oil pump nut is tacked on. I still find 3rd gear hard to hit just like the TSB. Still maddening to happen.
My shop will be doing the same thing to the oil pump in the new engine, along with installing an oil pan baffle. The new engine (used - 97k miles with a 12 month warranty) is supposed to be delivered to the shop tomorrow and I should be back on the road in a week. We'll be doing new motor mounts (M3), tranny mounts (Rogue), replacing the tranny bushes per the TSB, and probably installing a new clutch/thrust bearing as long as we're in there. The current clutch is fine, but the car has 120k miles on it.
