i was at the dealer today! it was my 3rd gear grind..so they are replacing me with a Brand new Tranny,clutch,and pressure plate! WOoOHOoO they said they are going to put a 06 tranny..or a NEW tranny at least! I cant wait to test it out..he said it should be in about early next week on Monday or Tuesday! i never driven a 06 tranny is it really that great!? has anyone change there tranny from 03 to a 06? because i was just on the other thread they are all talkin about how smooth the tranny is on a 06 and blah blah...i was thinkin let me to the math : RAW HP on a 03 + a 06 tranny = HOLY ****! speed?

 

you will still be at 387 horses so I dont think you'll notice faster speed. Many smoother shifts and such

 

hope you mean 287 horses

 

I know the clutch pedal on my 06 is much softer than previous years, and Ive heard its smoother shifting, but havent really noticed that. Hey at least it wont grind.

 

06 tranny=Twin Turbo POWA!!!

 

I had my tranny recalled and they did the same thing: Pressure plate, clutch, 06 model tranny.

It shifted so smoothly afterwards. My 03 tranny started to grind around 15k miles.

I had it replaced at 20k and drive it until 35k without any problems.

well back from the dealer...they fix the window grease and did the fuel hose...it was great! so far this is the best dealer i went too SUPERIOR NISSAN in fremont...never gave me any trouble at all...

 

oops your right. Maybe I was talking about the next gen Z

 

I want the 300 horsepower transmission also.

 

check your Service Invoice when it gets done and make sure the part # ends with 009. That's the newest tranny. Make sure they give you what they told you they're giving you. I have gone through an 007 and am on my second 008 tranny right now

 

I had my 04 trans changed to the 06, the 009 tranny. It's nice, i didn't notice too much difference to be totally honest. It's nice that Nissan does take care of these issues though, and you'll be happier with a new, and working trans! We do quite a few of them here ourselves.
Even though you're getting a new OEM clutch etc..., now is the time to upgrade the clutch and flywheel if you've ever considered doing so, because the vast majority of the labor is being taken care of for you.

 

enjoy your new tranny, sicko.

 

i got a CD008 Tranny CD020 Cover and CD019 assy what ya think? i notice shifts are a lot smoother..but i havent really driven it for a long time just dealer to house..only 5 miles apart..but i did love the new clutch and brakes that sucker Grabs! and brakes are stoppin on the dime!

 

My 06 6-Speed just stared grinding when going into 5th gear the other day at only 3100 miles.

 

06 tranny shouldnt have any problems..at least i dont think there suppose too...only tranny problems are 03-04.5 maybe some 05

 

Thats what I thought too. Right now it only does it after had been sitting for a while and only the first shift into 5th, after that its fine.
