I have some issues shifting into 6th, its not horribly hard, I think it's suppose to be a little hard since you don't want to hit reverse. I figure part of my problem is I have only driven 5 speeds until the Z.

 

+1

 

Maybe they are just clunky drivers...

 

i have that problem too..... but its with 6th gear clash. while i go from 4th to 6th. it happens to from 5th to 6th too. gotta go redline synthetic fluids..

 

I occasionally have this problem. Sometimes it feels like I am blocked out of the 6th gear, usually its at higher speeds on the highway. No idea why, but it happens sometimes, not very frequently.

 

never had that problem ever

 

never had that problem ever

 

never had an issue with any gear accept 2nd... i have an 03 and just had my 30k done not too long ago... car had 26k at the time... and ever since whe its cold out my car just wont go into 2nd... once the car warms up its fine... i havent quite figured it out... no grinds... just wont go ... as if you cant pull the stick down ...soo in the cold start mornings im shifting 1st to 3rd or letting the car warm up ALOT before i go anywhere

 

i dont have any intentions of taking it in yet even though i know warrenty will cover it... i work at a dealer ... (non nissan) and i know how techs are about stupid ish like this.. they will deny the problem until something catastrophic happens... nobody wants to open a tranny up under warrenty... they dont get paid enough to do it

 

I have a 2006 Z. It's not hard to get it into 6th gear, but it is awkward. For whatever reason I find it awkward moving the shifter into that position, but I don't think I have to force it in.

 

prob needs adjusting for the 6th gear throw, or the syncro's inside the tranny are shot from a chain reaction from the previous problem.

 

Yeh i have difficulty shifting into 6th gear...its cause i dont have a 6th gear. lol. AUTOOOOOOOOOO

 

Hey my '05 does this too. I thought it was normal?? You have to like force in in sixth. Well Im sure the deal will just say the same thing as last time...."yep looks good, everything if fine, that's normal" idiots

 

whats the big ordeal about MT's being crappy? they did the recall and never adjusted the plate. Not the MT's problem twas the techs fault!!

 

hahahaha i think this is the best advice given all day

 

i have the same problem but goin into the 5th gear i drive a 2004 Z.

 

Any updates?

 

Hmm, I have a similar problem except for 1st to 2nd shifts. 5th to 6th goes smoothly, but when I shift into second, it's a little to the right and not straight down... Does anyone else have this?

 

I know this thread has been here for quite some time.
a. Never had problems shifting in 6th as stock.
b. Now I have a Vortech S/C, Cams, etc. still no problem shifting 6th gear.
I would have it in the dealership asap, if under warranty, then make use of it. Take it every month if you have to, that's what warranties are for.

Need an update on the situation as to what's been done.

 

Oh wow, didn't realize that this thread was brought back from the dead lol.
