2005 mt z and impossible to shift in reverse in cold weather
Even after warming up for 10 minutes in the morning, its either impossible or very hard to get into reverse. I have 38k miles and hav all the service done I.e oil changes and major tuneups. I'm wondering do I have to change the tranny fluid? Or is it the 05 tranny itself? Lmk, thanks.

I have this problem with 2nd gear, but not reverse. 2nd gear doesn't work when it's cold (not even with a double-clutch) -- but is fine after the trans warms up. Not sure if this qualifies for any kind of warranty work or not. Do you know what weight your trans oil is?

New tranny oil will help this, if you are still running the original goo. Oil better than Nissan's will help even more. The car just sitting still and idling doesn't warm the transmission much at all.
If it's really stubborn, let the car roll a little or move the car slightly in 1st, then try again.

If you didn't replace your tranny fluid at 30k miles, it's time to do it now.

of course! i found out that the problem is the clutch engagement point. i adjusted it a while back since the pedal was too far up. i've adjusted it too low so that the gears are technically engaged even before i engage the clutch. thanks for your help!!
