nah, it dosnt sound grainy, it just dosnt feel nearly as smooth when i shift at high rpms the only sounds it makes are only notticeable at like 5 mph and its just tranny chatter that alot of people on here talk about

I notice my shifting isnt smooth like it was when i bought the car. I can feel the car go from one gear to the next kinda clunky. (i know thats not a word) I can feel it in the shift ****. I only get frustrated is when im using my air conditioner, I feel im shifting normal but the clutch engages late, it just seems like somethings wrong.

I don't understand why so many people feel unconfortable with their 6MT. I have an 96 300zx 5spd and don't feel a thing when shifting gears. Maybe the new 6MT have a "sporty" feel to it.

I don't know about "grainy" but I can feel a fast vibration through the clutch in that RPM range, it's like I can feel my clutch spinning down. If that's what you're talking about I'm pretty sure that's normal.

I think that feeling is pretty normal. Mine does the same thing but I only take er up there when I put the pedal to the floor. And If I do that, I aint shiftin at 5K
