i was wondering how a new transmission feels in a Z, I got a "03" and i don't know if the tranny is going bad or if its new? Its pretty stiff, not as smooth, it grinds when i slam it into 3rd gear only when i slam it never when i drive regular. or if i downshift from 4th to 3rd really fast.hmm... the clutch feels real tight i dunno what it could be. any ideas?

Go to the Nissan lot and drive a new Z.

Grinding means your tranny is shot and need a new one, or the clutch is shot and not completely disengaging. Where does the clutch engage? Off the floor?

That's what my tranny was doing and I had Nissan replace it on warrenty back in September. Difference is night and day. Now it's very nice. I also had them put in a new clutch and I paid for the clutch part's. Clutch engagement position is a lot better now. Everything sounds and feels great now.

how much does a tranny cost?

If your synchros are bad... grinding when shifting and you are in warranty then it's free.

If your out of warranty then it's about $3000 parts and labor. If you install a new clutch as well which you should then it's $4000-$4500
