The drivetrain of the 2007-2008 Infiniti G35 is specifically designed for this model and may not be directly compatible with other Infiniti or Nissan vehicles without modifications. It features a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, depending on the trim. Always verify part numbers and consult a professional for compatibility with other models.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the G35 drivetrain?

Regular maintenance for the G35 drivetrain includes checking and replacing transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, inspecting the driveshaft and differential for wear, and ensuring proper lubrication of components. The AWD system requires additional checks for the transfer case and front differential. Follow the manufacturer’s service schedule for optimal performance.

Q3

How do I replace the driveshaft on a 2007-2008 Infiniti G35?

To replace the driveshaft, first, secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands. Remove the exhaust system and heat shields for access. Unbolt the driveshaft from the differential and transmission, taking care to mark alignment for reinstallation. Install the new driveshaft, ensuring proper torque on all bolts. Reassemble the exhaust system and test for proper operation.

Q4

What should I do if my G35 drivetrain makes unusual noises?

Unusual noises from the drivetrain may indicate issues such as worn U-joints, a failing differential, or transmission problems. Inspect the driveshaft for play or damage, check differential fluid levels, and listen for specific sounds like whining or clunking. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage. Consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my G35 drivetrain?

To optimize drivetrain performance, use high-quality synthetic fluids for the transmission and differential. Ensure proper alignment and balance of the driveshaft.
