Hey guys, I'm about to buy my first 350z. I have been reading and searching the transmission problem that seems to be going around. I have heard of people around 105k on their first tranny and no problems. The 350z I am probably going to be purchasing has about 50k miles on it. I wanted to get any insight thoughts, feelings, beliefs, etc on the tranny situation? Is there a recall on the tranny at all? I have searched and searched and not found a recall on that.

 

depends on what year.... but my 03 track is at 55K no tranny problems orig tranny also

 

Yep, its a 2003 model. Any recalls on that???

 

My 03 has 56k and tranny is still doing its job, lol

 

no recalls that i am aware of, however i don't have an 03 so i haven't been looking for them anywyas.

 

03's have common tranny issues that are usually annoying and not up to par with the rest of the car. if you hear alot of grinding on 3rd of 6th take it to a dealer for replacement of part number CD009. No there is no recall for this, just a very common problem

 

I have a 03 closing in on 75k. No problem here.

 

For objective reliability data check Consumer Reports.

 

my 03 is at 60.5k and it's tranny is just fine

 

Lol now I know what you guys mean about "ugh another one.."

 

How dare you use a proper sample size. Isn't this a bannable offense?

 

03 with problem here on the usual grind on 3rd gear!
but i have 009 trans replace!! NO PROBLEM w/ brand new clutch/flywheel

 

Get an extended warranty and have piece of mind.

 

I had my tranny replaced at 36k on my 2003 for the same reason of grinding into 3rd gear if that helps.

 

03 Track with 20K on it ... common 3rg gear issue. Is not disturbing , just annoying once in a while. I will set up an appointment with my local Nissan dealer to talk about the issue while I am a new owner and no clue if the warranty is still valid.

 

I had a 5th gear grind on mine at 38k , and replaced with the 009.

 

A recall is different than a TSB. There can be a boat load of TSBs on a car but no recalls. TSBs are tips or solutions to common customer concerns but no notice is issued to the owner of said vehicle. The dealership is privy to this info. The only TSB on tranny problems is for blown syncros. There is a revised clutch assembly along with a new flywheel and tranny. This is for 6mt only that I am aware of. And this may only apply to earlier 350 Z models 03-04?

 

i just bought 03 350z with 64k and no problems with trany...

 

My apologies for trying to interject some science. It will not happen again.

 

hey guys got a quick question when I left off my clutch in neutral i have a clatering sound, Only does it in neutral when I left off the clutch it drives fine anyone know what this problem is?
