Who here doesn't have a notchy 6MT??
We've all seen the many posts about the grinding or notchy transmissions. Everyone that posts in them has similar issues, especially with the 1-2 upshift when cold.
Some guys have said that the dealers tell them that this is normal. So my question is;
"is it normal?"
fyi, mine is notchy on the 1-2 shift when it's cold. Otherwise it's fine.

my altima was notchy as well. i think nissan just designs them that way. i'd even say most sports cars are that way to some degree.
plus, all transmissions will be more notchy until they warm up.

I have visited many used car lots looking for a car for my son. I have had the opportunity to sit in and drive many 350Z's. Compared to mine, some are noticibly less notchy. I totally believe the posters here, that say that they have no problem or gripe. There are some -Z-'s out there, though, that do not shift as well as others.

if it's normal than mine doesnt bother me at all, but it just seems like it's not normal.especially cuz sometimes it is butter smooth and other times it's not, it's all random. i just want a conclusive answer as to whether my trans is fine or not haha..... it's an 03 performance btw

I think I've got one of the late production '05 models, build date is 6/05. It only acts in the cold cold winter days before its warmed up. Even then its only the 1-2 upshift, and its not that bad really. Otherwise it is fine. But i must say that the 5-speed's in my bro's old '90 300zx TT was much smoother, even though it was 14+ years old when i used to drive it.

This is kinda off topic but 07 Z I test drove was notchy as hell compared to my current RSX. I expected it to be this way but what I didnt expect was the Stick to Vibrate so much.
Do the sticks in all the Z's do this ? Even when the car is in neutral or with the clutch not engaged it vibrates.
