Just as the title says. I have 2003 350z Track that has went bad. I was wondering if the knowledge of some of you guys around here could shed some light on this process. It is 6MT and I will be replacing it with 6MT as well from G35.

First, will this transmission be the exact same as the 350z? I know they have made revisions but besides that will it bolt up the same?

Second, will I need to change the clutch, flywheel, or anything else doing this install? If so what do you guys rec. for a daily driver that is pretty much stock besides intake, exhaust, and test pipes.

Third, Ive heard that 03-05 350z trans bolt up different than 06 up. Ive read that I need an '06 transmission bracket to bolt up the new trans. And that I may need change some braket to deal with the cluth, I am not very sure of this...

Lastly, what fluids would you rec. to use after the install is completed?

Thanks for all your help and info in advance

I didn't know the Track version came as an auto. If it was a stick i would be an easy swap, no idea's about the auto cars.

 

where are you getting this from? the original post says that it is a 6mt...no idea why you mentioned auto tranny lol...

 

torque converter?

 

Sorry that was my fault... I ment to say flywheel. But please if anyone has any info. please let me know because I will be picking up the trans this weekend. I want to get everything in line before I tackle this project.

The 06 trans bolts up no issues. Very common mod, since the earlier generation transmissions were prone to grinding and other common problems.

For fluids, I would use Motul Gear 300 75-90 4 qts is enough. Your clutch and flywheel from the 2003, will work just fine on the 2006 transmission as well. But if your clutch is marginal, it would be a good to swap it out for something fresh.

 

okay, I just got some more info about the trans I am thinking about purchasing and its actually from '08 by the vin that is on the trans. Will this still work on my car? Here is the pics I have of it...

 

07 and 08 350Z transmissions will not bolt up.
07 G35 Coupe Transmissions will.

FYI, we have two transmissions here in stock, if you need one.

 

okay from what I know now it is a G35 sedan trans from '08 with 7K miles... The pictures above are the stamps and numbers on it... Will this work in the 03 350z?
