I have an 06 with 2,000 miles so far. All is good. Sometimes 1st to 2nd shift is ruff. But that is normal with most cars. Is everyones 2nd gear the same? Kind of ruff sometimes.

I have an 03 and i can't downshift into 3rd, i can upshift to 3rd just fine most of the time.

If one tranny came off the build line with problems unnoticed, most likely they would all have problems as well, and thats not the case.

I bought my 04 350z and the clutch and tranny gives out during the drive home on the freeway, almost caused an accident. but what pisses me off is the bill to get it fixed

here is the list
120$ tow to get off the freeway
54$ to get to the nearest Nissan Dealership
120$ to find out what they now "think" is wrong with it, they're not 100% sure its the clutch but I stilled payed the ****ing price

the future list
800$ to fix what they think is wrong, they're still not 100% sure
or I get it towed to the dealership I bought it from (23 miles from here, 45$ 4.50 per mile) and they might be able to do it for free

I'm pissed off

this is all after 3 days of owning this car
and on top of that, it was a brand new transmission they put in before I bought it.

that just doesnt sound all that exciting. But if you just bought it, then why would any of this be out of your pocket, other then the tow maybe.
