Derp. Replacing the input shaft bearing means dropping and dismantling the transmission. At that point, might as well look at a new clutch & flywheel. Which, honestly, I was never looking to do. I concluded long ago that I don't want to go that route.
God damn, this is going to get under my skin and worry the crap out of me. I know it.

I have a laundry list of car projects this weekend, I’ll add observing what my car does in those conditions.
I’ve only ever preventively replaced a clutch and I F’ing hated it

Hang in there, let’s rule out the simple things first.

I put wheel blocks in front of the tires, started the car, and got down to listen. I didn’t hear any rattle. I pushed my clutch in by hand, and there was no change in any of the noise.
Could maybe be something in the exhaust that pushing in the clutch changes some slight frequency and silences it.

I was watching Motorvate's video on changing the gear oil on the manual transmission G37, and realized this is exactly the same process as draining and filling the rear diff. Exactly the same thing. Since I did the diff oil myself last year, that makes this a simple DIY.
So i guess that's the first thing. Worse case is I waste a gear oil change. Last time I had this done, at 15k miles. I'm at 39k miles now. Can't remember why I did this at 15 so many years ago.

And now that I'm attuned to it, I'm hearing the bearing chatter (if that's what it is) all the time when I'm in a position to listen. Like in the garage, or next to another car in a parking lot.
Yep. This is going to drive me freaking nuts. I can feel it burrowing under my skin, making me cringe just thinking about it.

Out of curiosity, can one confirm if the KYB struts/shocks are shorter by 1/4" - 1/2" than the OEM Tokico shocks out of the AWD G37x sedans?

I thought only the OEM sport shocks were Tokico. Not so?

Dang, this video's pretty neat. Any chance this guy isn't a member here?

Motorvate is big in the DIY section on this site. He's a Toronto local, lives close to me.

I think his videos are great. I also think he's over-the-rainbow nuts, but in a happy, helpful kind of way that's respectable.

I can confirm, they're definitely Tokico for those with X's. Too bad I can only pick up the Tokico's from the dealerships.
