    Faint gear like noise at low speeds.

    I think it is the reduction gear. I have replaced everything from the tires to the cv axials that go into the reduction gear. I have the exact same sound humming above +/-50 mph and clicking at really low speeds. I have brought it into Nissan three times and two different dealerships and none...

    Faint gear like noise at low speeds.

    I have 90K on mine right now with 12 bars. Going to be a big let down if the motor fails before anything else. Was hoping to have this car for a while. Now I am going to have to wait and see. Keep me updated if anything changes with the traction motor.

    Valdemar.. have you tried doing an oil change on the reduction gear? I am going to change my gear oil this weekend, with red line d6. I will tell you if I hear any difference. My noise is like you described. It is a very faint clicking noise that you can hear best around 5 mph or less. I...

    Oil For Reduction Gear

    I ordered Red Line 58204 Heavy ShockProof Gear Oil. Will this oil be fine to use in the reduction gear on my 2012 Leaf?

    Did you ever find out what the sound was? I have a 2012 that sounds exactly like what you're describing.
