Got new tranny free at 65k, out of warranty, my Nissan dealer rocks! Got the new 009 design, now at 75k, got a new clutch free and had them put in a NISMO flywheel, its got some normal chatter because of the flywheel, but other than that, rock solid.

27k miles, 9k with FI

3rd gear grinds if the car/tranny isn't warmed up and I shift into it too fast

Apparently the car was purchased August of 2002. I am going to call around to different dealerships and then call Nissan direct if nothing happens...and then still nothing will probably happen.

I had the same clutch squeek around that mileage. I forget if it went away on it's own or after I had my 30k maintainence done. I believe it was the latter. I'm around 42k now and beside being real notchy, my tranny is solid.

I'm taking my car in real soon. I suspect in a week or two I will have the 009 in place and feel much better about the reliability of my car. I hate how a minor nuisance ruins everything. Getting into 5th feels like a two-step process now...and 6th still takes a 1-2 second pause to get into.
