Dodson Motorsport Nissan R35 GTR Mainshaft Upgraded Thrust Washers

The main shaft is a crucial component of the transmission, continuing the rotation of the input shaft to the spindle. The mainshaft thrust washer maintains smooth movements. Prevent failure in the gear box from the thrust washer wearing down while preventing gear wear in the gearbox by upgrading!

What Does the Main Shaft Thrust Washer Do?
The main shaft is essential for holding gears, bearings, synchromesh, and other components, transmitting input shaft rotation to the spindle, and channeling oil flow. Thrust washers, also known as thrust bearings or plates, are flat, disc-shaped components that facilitate smooth rotation in high-load applications. Positioned between the shaft shoulder and mating face, thrust washers support gear weight, protect gear faces, and prevent wear by serving as a sacrificial part. They allow the shaft to rotate against a fixed mating component, extending the lifespan of both the shaft and its mating surfaces.

What is the Difference Between a Thrust Washer and Flat Washer?
Flat washers are available in a range of materials, including nylon, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Thrust washers, also known as thrust bearings, are typically made from bronze and infused with oil for better lubrication. While a flat washer provides a basic load distribution, a thrust washer keeps rotating components aligned on shafts and limits axial movement.
