Default Is it me or does 04 shifter feel better.

I sat in an 04 yesterday and was going through the gears to see how it felt and I noticed that they move into each gear much more easy than my dad's 03.

Anyone else notice this?

Thanks,
Victor

To be the first (03 model) gives you the joy of owning and enjoying it while others wait but you have to know and hope that they will improve it. If this bothers you, how will you feel if/when they up the hp and/or release the Skyline in 07?

so long as it costs more, its understandable, thats a 5 year difference, and beyond any definiton of a reasonable time to wait. 6months to a year you can regret not waiting, but if you start regreting things that happen 5 years later... youll never have anything for fear of something better coming.

Should we regret past actions and resent lost opportunities?

Your gears were grinding on your 04 Roadster?

Can you elaborate a little?

(I have an 04 roadster, so I anxiously await your description)

OK, I'll bring this puppy back on track.

I'm worried abotu my 04 tranny. Second gear is 'tempromental' and I get an ugly 'clank' sometimes when letting out the clutch, even if I'm just in neutral. I can even hear a clicking (not as bad as a clunk) when I just move the shifter side to side while in neutral. I'm starting to get worried with only 1300 miles.
