Default New guy saying hello.

Hey, I'm Sean, but the Z is my brothers car. We're having some problems with it and thats why I signed up. He's got a 2004 touring edition with 9000 miles on it. He already had to replace his clutch, and ever since than its never driven the same. I've heard there are many problems with these transmissions from 2004, and he also mentioned something about his rear end that was typical from 04?

Any information of typical bs that comes from these trannys and rear ends, please let me know so I can figure this out. It almost sounds like his syncro's are out of whack?

Here's a pic of his car.




Thanks guys,
Sean

If this is what you are referring to when you mention the rear end problems..

From The Top 100 Common Questions (I just read this today)
Q: I hear a clicking sound sometimes. What is that? Sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car?

A: Beware of a slight metallic clicking sound coming from the rear of the car. It is due to the rear axle not being properly lubricated. If your car has this problem, you will usually hear this clicking sound when (1) in an enclosed space or driving near a hard wall, (2) driving without radio and with the window down (try turning off A/C if you still aren't sure), and (3) starting to move from a halt. The clicking sound is more pronounced while turning, or so it seems.

If you have the clicking, your car is due for a "Technical Service Bulletin" or "TSB" repair for rear axle clicking, which is covered under warranty. Take it to a dealer, and don't leave until they agree to fix it.
Not sure on the tranny issues

The 350Z is known for clutch, transmission and rear axle problems. That's why most 350Z owners trade them in for a RSX.
