so my car developed a nasty grind into 6th gear, took it into the dealer, and new tranny time

i guess they couldn't get the tranny right for the 07's either, they should have sourced the tranny out to borg warner like they did with th bullet proof z32 tranny, a getrag tranny would be nice to. anybody ever consider making an adaptor plate to mate the getrag 6 speed out of a supra to the vq???

 

Is it an Auto???

 

grind into 6th gear, z auto's are 5, not to sound like a smart *** but when did u ever hear of an auto trann grinding gears?

 

He said "6th gear". The auto only has 5 gears.

 

Welcome to the crappy tranny club, a division of the 2007 club.

 

07's too ... wow... this problem will never end

 

that sucks, atleast they're replacing it...

 

Ooof...

 

Well I don't have an existent clutch at the drag strip...so I'm going with the cars got issues between the flywheel and the drive shaft from 03-07

 

As far as an adapter plate that would be something that would have to be custom fab more than likely. Would be nice to toss in a bullet proof 1k rwhp geared getrag

 

sounds like someone should have bought themselves an auto, since they can't properly shift (which is the main cause of most manual transmission failures) being this is such a new car

 

LOL! Wrong. Most transmission failures on the Z or G so far have been Syncro issues with this tranny. Why do you think there have been over 9 revisions of this tranny since the car has been out trying to fix the problems?

 

Do you powershift? My friends 06 Z 6spd had a tranny replacement at 10k from powershifting.

 

and like i said, should have got a 5AT

 

Didn't read your post, just the title, cause i was in a hurry. LOL My bad

 

As smart as the are you gotta wonder why they can't fix this.

 

I was actually considering selling my 04 for an 07. If Nissan still has not fixed this problem, I guess I won't.

I am real surprised that after 9 revisions they still don't have it right.

 

+1

The transmission in my last nissan (240sx) was pretty good and robust for 10+ years and 190k kilometers. Why is the 350z transmission so @##$!#$

 

i've had plenty of manual tranny cars and this is the first one with issues, pretty ignorant of u just to assume i cant drive and thats y my tranny broke

improper shifting may be the cause of most tranny failures, but the z has a rep for crappy tranny's

and besides, its 6th the crapped out, i've always lazy shift into 6th cause there is never a need to shift hard or fast into 6th, so it couldn't have been driver error
