Transmission problems question.
Tomorrow I am taking my Z to the dealer so then can check out my tranny. Sometimes my tranny grinds when going into 5th and 6th even when the clutch is all the way in. Is there anything I can tell the dealer so they can definitely give me a new tranny? I want to get exhaust on my car so I would like for them to put a new one in before I do that. Any advice is highly appreciated so let me know. Thanks

it depends on the dealer. some will do it just based on you saying it grinds (probably b/c they're already familiar with the problem), some will need to replicate it. the best thing would be to take a drive with the tech/service manager while they try to replicate it, if they can't then you drive while they watch and show them how/when it happens. if you end up not being able to get it to replicate, then make them keep it over night and test it in the morning when the car is cold (since the grinding issue seems to be more prevelant when the trans is cold with most Z's). if that still doesn't work then all you can do is keep driving the crap out of the trans till it really does it all the time or breaks down. good luck.

Speaking from past experience (as I dont have a Z...yet) back in the day I used to have a 89 toyota MR2, I used to get grinding all the time (bad syncros) especially in the first 3 gears, I put some Redline Tranny fluid in it, and truth be told, NO grinding for the next 3 years I owned the car. Not sure if it will work in a Z...but worth a shot.

I have the same problem. My 06 just started grinding when going into 5th, but not all the time. It only has 3100 miles on it. It seems to only do it the first time I shift to 5th after its been sitting a while.
