Has anyone else noticed any grindin of the gears when driving? My 3rd gear is messed up and i was wondering if any other Z's have this problem

 

CRUCIFY HIM!!!

 

What year is it? happened to me a few times when i was new to driving my 06. You need to make sure your depressing the clutch enough and firmly pushing it all the way up to 3rd gear. I also had problem w/ 5th gear. IDK maybe I have short arms

 

no, you are the only one since 2003 to experience this problem

 

sounds like ur driving civic si and rsx type s.

 

well my 3rd gear is horrible and 5th gear is not so bad but i guess i need a new tranny

 

It does sound as though you need a transmission-replacement.

Question: What year is your Z?

2003

 

Just shift into reverse first then into third... You wont even notice the grinding in third after that. One loud sound then silence from your tranny from there on out.

 

Also, check your headlight fluid and muffler bearings.

 

Anyone heard about that pop charger thing?

 

My tires make a loud noise and wear funny on the inside. Someone told me I have feathers in my tires. How do I get those fixed...and why whould they put feathers in my tires? Do they make it lighter?

 

LMAO!! this thread is histerical. u guys are so wrong! lol

 

hahahahahahaha Take it to a transmission shop anywhere from 1,900-3,000$ matters who you know

 

LoL lightweight tires stage 3!

 

Back to the original question…
You also mention in a later post that you have a 2003 model Z.

It’s obvious that you have the defective transmission and need the new transmission that Nissan provides at no charge to owners who are still under the 5-year/60K drive-train warranty.

You are possibly (probably?) outside this warranty.

I would check first to see if you qualify for the transmission-replacement. Of course you will want to fight hard for this. Do a Search here, print the relative messages, take these to the dealer, and try to get your new transmission. The new transmission is much better in every way.

Good luck to you, and I hope you prevail.

check your back hatch for a rattling noise, the previous owners of Z's are good spirited and have been known to leave a few pennies lying around back there.

 

Ignore all responses you received here except for response #16.

I think the abuse here was because a Search would provide the answer to your question. That is what the guys here are telling you.
