Guys,

Any '04 owners have their tranny replaced?

Sometimes I get this "teeth" hitting as I shift to 3rd gear. Doesn't happen all the time. If i shift from 2nd to3rd and do it slowly (more like a split second pause in netural), it will be okay.

But if I shift from 2nd to 3rd straight, the "teeth" grind occurs once in a while.

I have been driving manuals for 14 years (4th manual cars).

When my car was in for an oil change at 3k mile, I mentioned to Perf. Nissan. The tech told me I have to have my manual break in (wtf). Now I have almost 12k miles.

Btw, my built day is Feb '04

ive had my car for about 6 months now. 11K miles with no problems. its a 2004.5 but i used to have a slight grind shifting from 1st to 2nd only in the mornings but after full warm up it was fine. now it juss dissapeared. complained to the dealers but cerritos nissan always just sends me away. AND THERE SUPPOSED TO BE TOP 10 IN KALI! good luck though. i dont think i helped at all

 

Sounds like somebody was pulling your chain. I have an 04 track trans replaced at 5800 miles! Will Not Go In Second Gear! Plus third would grind! They new this was a problem because my car is Vortech supercharged and they still changed my trans. Good-luck. Just goes to show you that some dealers are better than others.

 

my 04.5 trans was replaced earlier this month. It was changed at 10000 mi. It took me about 3 months of putting up with second gear grinding to finally find a dealer who would replace it under warrenty.

 

Guys,

What was your built date?

FAIRLADY350Z,

Which dealership finally changed your tranny?



Tony

 

My '04 has a build date of Jan. 2004. No grinding in any gear, and I've had the Z since March 2004.

 

Are all these dealers doing it free with no hassle ? I may have to look into replacing mine I think.. Not sure if I am being paranoid though 7k miles and counting my 04 z

 

NismoChick,

You are not paranoid. I am just worried that once my warranty runs out, the tranny goes dead (hehe).


I had an acura legend (5speed) in my college days. The 5th gear (highway) went bad. Costs me $1700 bucks. I was broke that time.
