Description
What happened to an unprotected Nissan Patrol Y62 gearbox?
Without proper protection, your Patrol’s gearbox sits exposed underneath. One bad hit can end your trip early.
- Rock impact damage: direct hits can crack the gearbox housing
- Oil leaks: even small impacts can cause costly seal failure
- Dust intrusion: fine dust can damage internal components
- Heat stress: No shielding can reduce cooling efficiency
- Expensive repairs: gearbox damage is one of the highest 4WD repair costs
