Syncro problem?
I tried to hi-jack someone else thread but it was another of the one hundred sixty seven trans warranty questions threads and basically i guess everyone is ignoring it.
I have a transmission that is fine normally, doesn't grind gears or anything but sometimes it is hard to get into first gear from neutral if i am sitting still, i have a tilton clutch. Usually i can put it in 4th first and then go to 1st and it will go in like normal. Also, sometimes if i go too slow in a gear it will get stuck in it, even if i have the clutch down it will not come out, i have to either force it out or let the clutch out a bit and then push it back down.
Any ideas?

Thats a common problem for anyone with a stick. I would switch to synthtic fluid and hope for the best. Motul and Redline both have great tranny fluid. I have found that Syn Transmission fluid can help in these situations.

I have a stock pile of Redline fluids that i had for my Firebird so i will get that changed and see what happens.
It does it all the time, no matter if it is hot or cold. I have the pedal adjusted, tried going down farther and no diff so i brought it back up. I basically made myself an adjustable stopper, plus...the tilton isn't supposed to go down that far anyhow.

Does anyone think this could be from a worn out clutch? It shifts fine after i get going, doesn't grind...i made about 5 1/4 miles passes and only missed 2nd once, probably more from being so excited that my launch was good, no grinds or anything. It doesn't slip at all.
I just don't want to throw $50 worth of trans fluid in my tranny if i am just going to have to get it swapped at Nissan.
I can't remember for sure...but is there any distinguishing factor to tell if you have a 009 tranny. I don't think there is but i'm hoping that i am wrong.

If you have a worn out clutch, you'll definitely feel it, especially on the track where your shifting faster than usual.
Also, I'd hold off on the transmission fluid if you're getting the tranny swap. And the dealership should give you the CD009 tranny so you shouldn't have to worry about that. Just ask them to double check. Mine's getting installed Monday.

^^^^^hahahaha, take off in 3rd, yeah right...i can barely take off in 1st without it stalling...if i let it slip for a couple seconds it seems to it seems to slip a lot easier until i let off the pedal completely, but when i do let all the way out it is definitely not slipping.

Well when i am driving it is fine, it is just getting it into 1st when i am stopped. I have to put it in a higher gear first and then it will go into 1st. If i am slowing down and get to around 5 mph it will drop into 1st with no problem.
