Dealer said grinding normal?!?
Finally got my Z back today and man, I forgot how smooth the gears were and now the car is so much more fun to drive! The gears were so "notchy" before, and the grinding!, but now it just slides in like butter!

The grinding is normal since the 350Z is NOT desing as a performance car.
I had to have him repeat that to me like three times! Then, after I was SURE that I did hear him correctly, I asked for the manager and the manager agreed with him!!!
So they charged me $47 for the inspection fee and won't fix or replace my transmission!
I told them that NO car should be grinding. I asked him so how come the other cars that Nissian makes don't grind? Are THEY performance made and the Z is not? Are the honda rice-rockets a "performance" car and my Z is not? They didn't answer me but just stated that I should call Nissian headquaters and complain to them!!

How could I be so unlucky to get 2 cars that didnt grind??
