Anyone with 2007 350z With no Manual tranny issues?
I have a 07 and besides the chattering that everyone says is normal I have no issues so far even when launching.. I've only launched the car a few times (maybe 5 times) but i've had several WOT runs. SO far, no problems.. no soft clutch, no grinding, no clutch drops.. no smell.. anyone else like me? Only threads I see on six speed 07s are clutch issues with them. I've only chirped third twice though in the Wot runs so i hope my clutch isn't beginning to slip.. Most of the time 3rd doesnt chirp. Second gear chirps nicely under WOT though...
btw my car has 3,000 miles.

Great so far. As in any car forum, it's rare that anyone posts to say that their car's running just fine. If there's a problem real or imaginary, the bandwidth gets eaten alive!

btw my car has 3,000 miles.FYI.. the new 07 350Z blocks (VQ35DE) were built alot better than previous years. but even though the block was better built. it is strongly recommended you do not give your car any aggressive runs if it is under 1,300miles. most blocks require 2k-3k miles. you also dont want to damage your car. so, with that said. dont be affraid to give her a good rev. but dont do launches quite yet. try and give her a little break, before you start racing hondas, with the loud *** exhaust that think they own a 13second car just cuz they beat another honda...LOL.. so give your z a little break until she hits 1300..
