JDM Nissan 350Z Infiniti G35 CD009 FS6R31A 6-Speed Manual RWD Transmission

Looking for a Nissan 350Z CD009 transmission for sale? J-Spec Auto Sports offers this low-mileage JDM Nissan FS6R31A 6-speed manual RWD transmission for compatible Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 applications.

Imported directly from Japan, this OEM Nissan manual gearbox belongs to the desirable CD-series FS6R31A transmission family. In particular, the CD009 has become a popular transmission among Nissan Z and Infiniti G enthusiasts, restorers, replacement-transmission buyers, and performance builders.

However, Nissan produced several revisions of the FS6R31A. Therefore, buyers should verify the physical transmission revision and complete fitment before ordering.

WHAT IS THE NISSAN CD009 TRANSMISSION?

The CD009 transmission is a later Nissan manual transmission assembly/revision belonging to the FS6R31A 6-speed gearbox family.

Understanding the terminology is important:

FS6R31A = Nissan transmission model/family

CD009 = Specific Nissan transmission assembly/revision identifier

Because customers use both names when searching for replacement and performance transmissions, this unit may commonly be referred to as a:

• Nissan CD009 transmission
• 350Z CD009 transmission
• Infiniti G35 CD009 transmission
• FS6R31A transmission
• Nissan 350Z 6-speed transmission
• G35 6-speed manual transmission
• Nissan VQ35DE manual transmission

Therefore, both FS6R31A and CD009 should be verified when matching a replacement gearbox.

NISSAN 350Z Z33 APPLICATION

The Nissan 350Z Z33 uses the longitudinal FS6R31A 6-speed manual transmission family in manual-transmission applications.

Common characteristics include:

• 6-speed manual operation
• Rear-wheel-drive layout
• Longitudinal engine/transmission configuration
• VQ-series engine applications
• Direct manual shifter configuration

However, Nissan revised the transmission during Z33 production.

Consequently, do not assume that every 2003–2009 Nissan 350Z uses the identical CD009 transmission assembly.

Earlier vehicles can use earlier CD-series revisions, while later vehicles may use different configurations. Therefore, verify the transmission revision, production date, engine, and related drivetrain components before purchasing.

INFINITI G35 V35 APPLICATION

The Infiniti G35 shares important drivetrain architecture with the Nissan 350Z.

Compatible RWD manual G35 applications may use versions of the FS6R31A transmission family. However, differences can exist between model years, coupes, sedans, engines, shifter configurations, mounts, driveshafts, and related components.

Therefore, verify:

• Model year
• Coupe or sedan
• Engine type
• Transmission revision
• Bellhousing configuration
• Input shaft configuration
• Shifter position
• Transmission mount
• Driveshaft
• Clutch and flywheel
• Sensors and switches

before purchasing this transmission for an Infiniti G35.

VQ35DE APPLICATION

The VQ35DE 3.5L V6 is one of the primary engine applications associated with the CD-series FS6R31A transmission.

This creates the important drivetrain relationship:

Nissan 350Z / Infiniti G35 → VQ35DE → FS6R31A → CD009 Revision → 6-Speed Manual → RWD

However, buyers should still verify the exact vehicle and transmission configuration.

VQ35HR FITMENT

Later Nissan 350Z models equipped with the VQ35HR also use a 6-speed manual transmission from the FS6R31A family.

Nevertheless, you should not assume that a CD009 from a VQ35DE application directly replaces every VQ35HR transmission.

For VQ35HR applications, verify:

• Transmission assembly
• Bellhousing and input configuration
• Clutch
• Flywheel
• Shifter location
• Driveshaft
• Transmission mount
• Sensors
• Related drivetrain components

before ordering.

CD009 VS. CD001

CD001 and CD009 are not simply two names for the identical transmission revision.

Both belong to Nissan’s CD-series transmission lineage. However, CD001 refers to an earlier revision, whereas CD009 identifies a later transmission assembly/revision.

Therefore, an individual transmission should not automatically be advertised simultaneously as:

CD001 / CD009

Instead, physically verify the transmission whenever possible.

If this unit is confirmed as a CD009, advertise it clearly as:

FS6R31A CD009 6-Speed Manual Transmission

This approach gives customers more accurate information while also creating cleaner product data for Google and AI search engines.

FACTORY GEAR RATIOS

Applicable Nissan FS6R31A specifications include:

1st Gear: 3.794
2nd Gear: 2.324
3rd Gear: 1.624
4th Gear: 1.271
5th Gear: 1.000
6th Gear: 0.794
Reverse: 3.446

These ratios make the FS6R31A a true 6-speed manual transmission with 5th gear at 1:1 and an overdrive 6th gear.

SYNCHRONIZER DESIGN

Applicable Nissan FS6R31A factory specifications use multi-cone synchronizers on several forward gears.

This design was engineered to improve shifting operation and synchronization.

Rather than advertising an unsupported horsepower limit, we recommend evaluating any transmission intended for a high-horsepower or motorsports application based on its individual condition, vehicle setup, torque output, clutch choice, driving style, and intended use.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID

Use the correct GL-4 manual transmission lubricant specified for the applicable FS6R31A application.

For applicable Nissan FS6R31A transmissions, Nissan MTF or an appropriate API GL-4 manual transmission fluid in the correct viscosity range should be used.

Do not automatically substitute a GL-5 gear oil unless the lubricant manufacturer specifically confirms compatibility with the transmission’s synchronizers and application.

Always verify the fluid specification and capacity for your exact transmission before filling.

Before installing a used 350Z or G35 manual transmission, inspect the complete drivetrain.

We recommend checking:

• Clutch disc
• Pressure plate
• Flywheel
• Pilot bearing/bushing
• Release bearing
• Clutch fork and pivot components
• Rear main seal
• Transmission input seal
• Output seal
• Transmission mount
• Driveshaft
• Shifter components
