So I took my car to the dealer, Rear diff bushing, drivers outside door button, transmission hesitation.. So They said trans was about a pint over full, I had the car since 38k miles it has 63k miles on it.. Well, they drained some fluid out, and reprogrammed it. Problem fixed.. Door button worked the whole time they had it, so no fix. The warranty company would not fix the rear diff bushing, due to it being part of the frame. WTF, isn't that a good reason to fix it or is it just me?? well, I will just do the Z1 bushings... Anyone know where to get just the rubber driveshaft coupler??? only the rubber coupler and not the whole driveshaft??
Well at least the transmission responds better. it cost me $144 plus tax, but it was worth it.

I have an extended warranty through the bank. It was there to replace the whole frame. Its the only way the dealer does it... but it was denied.
I only was going to have them do it, because i needed the other stuff done.

The "guibo" (rubber isolator on the driveshaft) is not available seperately. An overseas member has put a lot of effort into locating a direct replacement, or even something close, to no avail.
Same stupid reasoning by Infiniti as the diff bushing.
If you decide to replace the bushing, I have the Z1 removal tool available.

I wish the stupid driveshaft bushing was separate, Mine has slight cracks in it and it would be nice to change it while I have that part of drive shaft off.. ooh well.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

I rolled with a busted bushing for about a year. It's one of those things that becomes the new normal. When I replaced it, I realized how sloppy it was, and the clunk in the 1-2 shift was gone.
If you've already cleaned the bushing puke off, it's definitely busted.

So i headed over to home depot. Picked up some JBWeld quick setting 4400 tinsel strength epoxy with mixing straw. $9.00 for 2 tubes.
I cut a hole in the cavity to make sure it was clean and empty. I also used this hole to inject the epoxy. I filled up the cavity till it leaked out, then just emptied the 2 tubes into it. I forgot to put a catch pan down, so i got a bit of it in the driveway... ooh well..
I will let you guys know how it worked out.
For me this is only temporary, till the winter when I hope Florida will be cooler so I can put the Z1 bushings in.
Thanks for all the help.

I do notice, but I drive aggressive. Most of the time its when using sport mode and the paddles and im sitting in a gear and holding one speed its a little jerky. Or hard acceleration, you can feel it a little with gear changes. Besides, I cant stand leaking or broken stuff. Like knowing my driveshaft rubber cushion has a few small cracks in it... uugh.
