its a common problem and warrantable fix on 03s. Though the 1st to 2nd is always a biatch on our cars regardless of the year (not sure on 07-08 models though). If the car isn't warmed up (ie the transmission fluid) its a little notchy.

if anything have them drive it or you drive it to replicate the problem. If they won't honor the warranty try another nissan dealership who will. If they do say they'll replace the transmission and you need a new clutch - don't let them fool you into paying for it - that is also included.

Powertrain covers transmission.

It's 5 years or 100,000km, which ever comes first.

I had my transmission replaced one month before my warranty ended in February. 03 guys are in **** out of luck territory.

personally if you are outside warranty period, i would try to source a trans from a wrecked Z, where the trans wasn't hurt.

don't take it to those regular tranny shops that claim to do re-builds...i have heard horror stories with them. your best bet is to do a clean swap.
