Tranny grind?
I'm trying to establish what constitutes a grind in our trannys. When I put it into first, its difficult, move to second, it sounds like i'm dropping 500lbs of pressure into the tranny and it clunks (sounds like some serious positive engagment), then to third, its smacks somethin again.
Each time there is an "engagment" noise, however not griding like everyone claims, is there a distinction and could someone please humor me as to what it is?
I've even rev matched on UPSHIFTS! and still have tranny noise, I just can't make sense of it...

The 350Z transmission can best be described as notchy. The shift gate allows little room for play. This is not a mechanical problem, just an attribute of the drive train. Grinding is different. How do you tell the difference between notchy and grinding? Know your car.
