Default could use some help

2003 base 350z, when I put the car in gear (mostly 2nd and 4th) it seems like when I accelerate it skips or leaps. It happens every once in a while but I have no idea what it is. Any ideas?

Skips or leaps, exactly what is it that is doing this? Explain a little more in detail.

if it is manual, maybe the clutch is going out. If it is Auto...well u may need to have it checked out by a shop.

1st..3rd...5th....6th.

You don't really need all 6 gears. You can get by with 4. And if you wind out 3rd long enough, you can skip 5th and go directly to 6th. Winning!

sounds like driveline problem. I think you should check you mounts and bushings. Look at transmission mount, engine mounts, and subframe bushings. especially the differential to subframe bushings. Good luck.
