Yeah unfortunately my supra was auto . But i've driven most of my buddies 6spd's and I gotta say Getrag honestly rules. The supras are great cars, but not when it comes to handling. I think the z's are a bit more feminine and the lines are closer to a futuristic car than a beefy monster.

Both cars are great, I just feel like spending 30k on a car is a waste when all these small problems arise. Every morning I sorta think twice about nissan, but when the transmission warms up, I realize its sooooooo worth it.

 

Since it has been colder lately here in Wisconsin my tranny has been whining more until warmup. My throwout bearing makes some noise as it is going bad but it is bearable until I replace it this winter.

 

I almost wonder if it has anything to do with the housing design of the tranny and how the fluid sits after it is off for a while... which is obviously magnified until warm up.

 

But imagine what the Z would have been like if it came with the Getrag 6 speed like how the Supra did.

 

Would be headache free for nissan, that is for sure!!
