JDM Nissan 350Z / Infiniti G35 6MT RWD CD009 / CD001 Transmission – Imported from Japan

If you are searching for a JDM Nissan 350Z CD009 transmission for sale or a G35 6-speed manual gearbox, you already know these units are among the most desirable factory RWD transmissions Nissan ever produced. At J-Spec Auto Sports Inc, we specialize in sourcing authentic, low-mileage JDM drivetrain components directly from Japan — and this CD009 / CD001 6MT transmission is a prime example of performance-ready OEM engineering.

This is not a remanufactured or unknown-core unit. This is an original OEM Nissan 6-speed manual transmission imported from Japan, ideal for stock replacement or high-performance applications.

Why the CD009 Transmission Is So Highly Sought After

Among 350Z and G35 enthusiasts, the CD009 is widely considered the strongest and most refined version of the factory VQ 6-speed gearbox. Compared to early CD001 revisions, later CD009 variants feature:

• Improved synchro design

• Stronger gear engagement

• Enhanced shift feel

• Better durability under high torque

For turbocharged, supercharged, or drift applications, the CD009 is often the preferred factory transmission due to its ability to handle increased power without the fragility associated with earlier revisions.

Even earlier CD001 transmissions remain a reliable OEM solution for naturally aspirated builds and daily drivers.

Performance & Swap Applications

This JDM 6-speed transmission is ideal for:

• OEM replacement for worn factory gearboxes

• Turbo VQ35DE builds

• VQ35HR swaps

• Drift builds

• Track cars

• Engine swap projects requiring a strong RWD 6MT

Because these transmissions are rear-wheel drive (RWD) configuration, they are compatible with factory drivetrain layouts and many performance swap platforms.

Fitment Compatibility

Common factory applications include:

• 2003–2009 Nissan 350Z (RWD)

• 2003–2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe (RWD)

• 2003–2006 Infiniti G35 Sedan (RWD)

Buyers should confirm engine type (VQ35DE vs VQ35HR) and verify clutch, flywheel, and driveshaft compatibility prior to installation.

Market Demand & Investment Value

As Nissan discontinues production of many OEM drivetrain components and as 350Z and G35 platforms continue to rise in enthusiast popularity, clean CD009 units are becoming harder to find.

For builders investing in turbocharged VQ platforms or long-term drift cars, securing a genuine CD009 transmission is often considered a smart upgrade. Many performance shops specifically search for “CD009 transmission for sale” due to its reputation.

When buyers search for:

• JDM 350Z CD009 transmission

• Infiniti G35 6 speed manual gearbox

• Nissan CD009 RWD transmission

• VQ35DE 6MT swap transmission

They are typically serious buyers ready to purchase.
