Transmission or clutch?
So im driving to work yesterday when all of the sudden i have no 5th or 6th. I dont smell anything but 1 through 4th work perfectly fine. Dealer is trying to tell me is the clutch and not the transmission. and of course they are saying is the clutch, since the extended warranty doesn't cover it. I have burnt a clutch on a previous car before so i know what the smell is like, and there was no smell what so ever....
Opinions?
Car is 03 enthusiast with 70,000 miles

Cruise around in 3rd.... or 4th or something... punch it a bit....
Does the rpms jump up before the car actually get some extra momentum or does the tach skick in sync with vehicle speed
If the first... slipping clutch... but you should notice a slipping clutch in all gears but more obvious at low RPMS [LOWER GEARS(5/6 GEAR)]

do you have to pay for the clutch & flywheel? how about labor?
I had my tranny replaced about 2 or 3 months ago and the grind from shifting is still there. Just last night it feels like the clutch is definitely slipping. I am just over 30k on my 07 Z and the clutch/tranny been acting like this for quite a while. It is the worst when I drive a lot but this is my weekend car so I seldom drive it a lot so it was bearable only driving it only once a week. I recently starting driving my Z more because my other car is in the shop and the grinding is getting worse and worse. I'm pretty sure that it's the clutch and not the transmission. I'm going bring it in tomorrow and have them test drive it again. Hope they will replace my clutch for free because clutch should not go bad only just 30K. I'm pretty sure it's not something I have caused since I drive my 240sx much more than the Z and put my 240sx but I baby my Z. Wish me luck.

well i haven't heard of only the 5th and 6th gears only going out....well if you replace the clutch and flywheel make sure you get everything else with it for reliability...
pressure plate, throwout bearing, nismo pilot bearing, hex head flywheel bolts, stainless steel clutch line, steel pivotball.
those are necessities. other things that you can get that effect the driveability:
short throw shifter (ex. autotecnika), shift **** (better feel for gears when shifting), transmission mount (less excessive vibration and better shifts), clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder.
Another thing that you can do if you are somewhat mechanically savy is you can re-align your shift gate (shifter to transmission plate)
PM me any other questions.
