2005 nissan 350z are they known for bad transmissions? Mine only has 107000 and i already try to replace some parts inside the tranmissions and still giving me issues. What would you guys do get a new transmission if so from where?

Somewhere around 108000 and I run her hard whenever I can (just too much fun). I did notice though that the #6 sparkplug had oil in the chamber when I did my spark plug replacement. So I will figure out how to deal with that when I decide to check on it again (just replaced them). Gotta do trans and diff fluid replacement and just got some newer 08 suspension to change out. All in all just trying to get her back to where she was piece by piece and eventually more mods!

I'm well into 99000 miles. Had the baby since mile 3 and I'm going to take it in for Brake Pads, Trans/Diff fluid change, spark plug replacement (first time), and alignment this weekend. If they're going to charge me an arm and a leg for the spark plugs I'm going to take a crack at it in a few weeks myself.
Edit:
Complete inspection was done this weekend. Turns out my brake pads, tranny/diff oils were all in good shape. So I just did an alignment, spark plug, and fuel system cleaning.
First Spark plug change in 10 years definitely made a difference. There is a noticeable improvement in both feel and sound when I accelerate.

Just hit 100k earlier today, watched it hit 100k. Only needed regular maintenance so far, other than the crappy door handle passenger side needs to be replaced and need a new battery now its starting to go out atm. nothing major so far, I've had it for 7+ months since 86k. So far its happily lightly modded and running strong.

127k on my 04 ZR and just normal maintenance items. Due to **** in the road Im on bumper cover #3 now though in the 2.5 years I've owned my Z.
The Z and I have been everywhere... it's taken me from Los Angeles to central Florida and back, Salt Lake City, Austin, Omaha NB, San Francisco and all over SoCal and lots more with no issues whatsoever. I swear that this car has its own gravitation pull that attracts every tiny piece of crap on the road though...definitely attracts unwanted attention also. It's the only car I've ever had that's been vandalized & broken into.
Seems I'm always worried about someone messing with my car...makes it hard to get sleep some nights...
