'06 6th Gear Grind?
My '06 Z (12k miles) is developing a nice 6th gear grind. Right now, it only grinds when I skip shift from 4 to 6, or sometimes 3 to 6 (if I run thrid gear to a high enough speed).
Is skip shifting the cause of this? It didn't do it previously, but it sure does now. Is anyone else experiencing a similar situation? Has anyone gone to the dealership over this situation? What were your results?

Mine does the same thing ONLY when I skip from 4 to 6. If I clutch it, release the clutch pedal, then clutch it again there is no problem. I think it may just be the synchros lining up. But I dont know much about trannys so...

Sounds like a synchro' problem (probably a defective transmission). Take it to the dealer and demonstrate the problem. They will probably elect to install a new tranny. They will need to order a new tranny and get permission from Nissan to do the warranty work. That takes about 5-7 days. Installation takes only 2-4 hours.

Thanks
Thanks for the responses. My question is, will dealerships let you drive them around and exhibit the problem?
For those who have had their transmission replaced because of a bad synchro, how bad was the grind when you went to the dealership? Right now it grinds 50 percent of the time, or when i shift quickly, but not all the time.

^^ My grinding only happened when shifting quickly. Sounds as though you have the same problem. Your dealer can duplicate the problem easily. They won't "hassle" you on this one. It's a known problem that Nissan wants to repair.
