Just bought my use 04 ZR this past thursday i declined to buy the extended warranty because i still have the state law warranty whenever someone buys a use car from a dealer of 30days 10k miles whichever comes first.I just notice when i shift from 4th to 5th it sometimes lags and when it is in 5th its harder than normal to take it out of 5th.Planing on changing the tranny fluid to see if it eliminates the problem.My main thing is can i go to any nissan dealership and buy an extended warranty and is it worth it?Thanks

 

Take it back to the stealership if you have a state warranty. And no its not worth buying the extended warranty IMO, just take care of the car.

 

i just got the car this past thursday so they shouldnt charge me anything correct?

 

Yea buying the Nissan warranty is not worth it... But man, a few months ago the dealership where i bought my car was offereing free warranties with the purchase of any nissan new or used...

 

Just got the car inspected at a local shop he said my tranny oil is low/burnt does that mean i need a new tranny?Or will the dealer just flush it?

 

just flush the fluid, that should help a tad bit. had a similar problem with my 03 going into first, changed the fluid and made it better (not gone, just improved)

 

are you still on that tranny?

 

Flush fluid asap and go from there. If that takes care of your problem then superb, if it doesn't then warranty time

 

yeah

 

Not bad hopefully i just need it flushed and its good to go!

 

@ the dealer now getting it checked out!

 

They just changed the tranny fluid but going into 5th is still stiff!

 

Sounds like the 5th synchro is worn

 

Problem solve something adjusted by the shifter and was blocking going into 5th.the dealer didnt solve it my buddy from a local shop fixed it =)

 

was it the shift plate? I just read about this in another thread but the car was an 07. The shift plate(not sure?) was messing up the 5th -- 6th shift

 

Dont Buy an Extended Warranty!! I took some idiot's advice on this board before I bought my car and took the warranty. The warranty is to expensive and besides its a ***** to get anything covered by it, when you actually really do have a problem. You are better off keeping that money and spending it when you do have a problem. Besides the Z is a pretty reliable car.

 

Yeh it was the plate somehow it shifted and it made shifting to 5th and 6th stiff!He just move it and aligned everything add a little grease now its smooth like a babys butt lol!
Now I need a new clutch any recommendations?

 

Your right you literally have to break it apart before the dealer gives a yes.I didn't buy an extended warranty I'm still on the state law warranty of 60days 3k miles.Hope our cars last for a long time!

 

Good deal, glad you got it fixed so you can enjoy your recently purchased Z

 

Thanks I want to put a different clutch any recommendations?
