ever since i got my car 7 monthes ago ive been hearing strange noises coming from my tranny. high pitched whining noises when revved high, squealing noises the first half hour i drive and just all different strange noises. i decided to take it to nissan and boy to my surprise were they nice. I had a technician drive the car while i sat in the passenger and told him everything to do to mimic those sounds. well to make a long story short got a phone call today saying my new tranny is on thw way!! wow im sooo happy

car is on 06 base manual with 68000 miles.

p.s never had oil consumption

Kings Nissan, Brooklyn, NY FTW!!!!!

Did they tell you you're paying for it too? You appear to be 8000 miles out of warranty.

hey i have a 06 auto, and i hear a whining sound from 1st to 2nd, but i can recall i read some where on the forum that it is normal for all Z's to sound like that.. is this true?

Let me get this straight so I understand it… Nissan is installing a new transmission in your car because your current transmission makes some unusual sounds?

That's it! (nothing else)?

Do you experience any problems other than the sound?

an occasional 3rd gear grind and notchy unsmooth shifts as well

joeyz12

yea ive also read ita normal for the transmission to be noisy but mine was really really loud. especially the whining. but im not sure about the automatic i thought it was only the manual that was noisy

My 08 makes a loud whining sound as the RPMs climb. My cousin's 08 makes the same sounds but just not as loud. So I'm gonna say the whining is normal. Either way, it's not so annoying that I'd have the tranny replaced. Would having the tranny replaced show up on the carfax report?

Grinding when shifting (it usually happens when downshifting quickly) usually indicates a problem with the synchromesh mechanism. The typical fix for this is a transmission replacement. People also report repairing this by replacing synchromesh components, but I’m not sure this is the best way to fix the problem.

If I remember correctly there was a problem with some 2003 and 2004 Z’s (prior to 2004.5?), and Nissan fixed this by replacing the transmission. Nissan replaced my 2003 transmission under warranty. My replacement transmission definitely has a whine-noise that was not present in my original transmission. I don’t mind the noise, and hardly notice it anymore. The replacement transmission works great; it’s not “notchy” (in fact it’s “silky”) and does not “grind.”

I haven’t heard many complaints from 2006 owners describing this problem.

Congratulations on your new surgery! Get well soon!

that would describe almost all of them at times...well mine doesnt grind 3rd but definitely notchy until fully warm (especially 2nd). Curious to see how the new one compares.

If I read the word "tranny" one more time I'll upchuck.

How about 6mt or 5at? Those terms actually convey useful information, and they take even less time to type.

i just dropped it off now at nissan. they should it should be done by tonight no later than tomorrow. ill let you know how it feels when i get it back

3rd gear grind didn't give ya a hint?

Who cares if you hate the word? Upchuck all you want..

The OP's just saying he's getting a new transmission.. He's not asking anyone for any help..

That's great-I know the feeling of getting a car back from a repair + having it feel like new-takes a load off knowing that a whole part is new, and won't need replacing untill you have enough $ for the next z! Just to add-I got a 2004 MT-2nd gear sucks! a warm car helps a lot-I did drive the car like it was my last day alive for the 1st year I had it though-got to start researching after maket "transmissions"- that was 4 u winchman!

Same problem here, 06 z with 31K, bought the car from a dealership 300m away, brought it to the local dealer the very next day, replaced in 1 day!
