I have JWT and started experiencing this
you think my tranny is shot? all other gears are perfect.. is this
repairable?

 

what year is your car?

it is repairable but not at all worth it. to minimize the grinding, i suggest you to let the revs catch and slowly shift into 5th. it's a good way to remedy a synchromesh transmission with an ailing synchro.

 

=Yes.
=If you have less than 60,000 Nissan will replace it for free.

(I was wondering if an aftermarket flywheel/clutch/pressure plate setup would affect the 5th gear syncho going bad.....thanks for answering that.)

Be sure to ask for the CD009 model tranny. If you have a 2004+, they will attempt to give you a CD008.

 

Mine's a 04, has an after market clutch (JWT)

 

 

HAHA, I got the same set up with JWT TT and JWT clutch and my car is at the dealer for a new tranny because of 5th gear grinding, 13,000 miles.

 

how much are you getting charged for this.. this voids warranty, right.. phug..

 

I told them it's a common problems with 2003/2004....no charge

 

What dealership did you go to?

 

Mike with VRT who did the tunning on my car had connection with Mossy Nissan in El CaJon, Sandiego.

 

search for transmission grind, there are a ton of threads on this problem

Bad Synchros

 

how do syncros go bad? or break...?

what sort of driving habits cause them to do so?
