Hello this is my first post so if i'm in the wrong place ill move this thread but I recently bought a 2004 350z 6spd and got a new transmission in it (planned expense) but now when i'm attempting to shift quickly I notice my revs dont drop immediately! so i'll take you through the motions :

1. You hit the gas
2. You push your clutch all the way in and yank that bad boi into second
3. Your grind your gear even tho you had the pedal all the way down

I can see my revs not dropping right away and can basically grind gears whenever I feel like it just by shifting fast, I went and watched other nissan 350z 0-60s and watch their revs drop right away sooo whats my issue?

thanks, James

Synchros prolly going out. Get a lighter flywheel so revs drop quicker?

Its not an issue of the revs dropping quicker its that the clutch doesn't disengage right away it seems, because after a second the revs will drop normally

It could be that the clutch is not fully disengaging? Have you tried evaluating for this and/or adjusting?

Tranny is bad or clutch isn't fully disengaging.

^^^ This.

Betting on a hydraulic issue. Try re-bleeding the system.

I think I figured it out
1. Hit throttle
2. Release throttle and push in clutch at the same time
3. Shift gears
4. Release clutch and back on throttle
