+1 on upgrading the clutch/fly while you're at it. No doubt about it. The stock setup is so heavy it's not even funny.

 

Low on cash.. =/ I bought a 1300 dollar exhaust and spent 2000 on rims in one month. I need lowering springs and sway bars first, and then i'm thinking i'll do a 13' BBK in the front and the JWT flywheel/tilton clutch combo at teh same time. I can install the brakes and the clutch/flywheel myself, just gotta borrow a friends tranny jack he has.

Plus i get jack hours on my part time job, and schools starting again and I just paid my tuiton fees...

 

My GOD!

Once you hit 60k, you should consider contacting Nissan, North America. It might be in your best interest to get some kind of bulk rate on trannys. I'm surprised you've made it past your 2nd tranny under warranty. You must have a very kind dealership

Are you sure the Never Lift to Shift method is a good idea...?

Update: it took 1 day... I got it back on Thursday. I drove it for about 200 miles and the new 009 transmission is far better than the one i had (006). It feels SO much smoother and pops into gear rather than me having to force it in. Much improved..

My 5th gear has got worse just in the short time I posted about it. It looks like I'm going to have mine replaced eventually too. Glad to hear the new one is much better.

 

Yikes, I just got my Z, 2005 Performance with 12,500 miles on it, and this thread is scaring me. I'm going to buy an extended warranty asap.
