anyone know if the mileage is stored in the cluster or in the ecu?

 

cluster.

 

thanks

 

This sounds like a pretty shady question.

 

It is stored on Both

 

shady yes but i wanna figure how to stop the milelage every other week

 

Think that's easier said than done. I've heard the car will not start with the instrument cluster unplugged. And WHY would you want to do that?

 

Note to self:
Never buy a car from GT3506MT....Ever.

 

or just report this to pa DOT..

 

ITS PENDOT

 

IM NEVER SELLING MY Z SO YOUR SAFE...BUT WITH ALL THE TRANS PROBLEM ECT ECT. IM SURE ITS CROSSED YOUR MIND...I MUST NOT BE RICH LIKE YOU...LAST TIME I CHECKED TRANS ARENT CHEAP

 

How does disconnecting the odemeter have anything to do with your tranny?

 

I'm not rich by any means, but it does sound shadey asking something like that on the internet. How would you feel if you bought a car and found out later the speedo was altered, thats my only point. Sorry if it offended you, but you must admit that question does raise a red flag.

 

This is why you don't buy used,

 

I was wondering the same thing but for other reasons...like switching to the nismo guage clusters and keeping the actual miles.

 

when it goes like everyone elses on here i would like it to be covered under waranty thats all

 

not offened at all...and i would never sell my car to someone with false miles on it...the only way im getting rid o my z is if i total it, it gets stolen or i run it into the ground...i just would like to keep it under waranty for as long as i can....

 

So then you must be closing in on the 60,000 mile mark!{warranty end}.

 

actually i just bought my car 3 weeks ago with 5500 miles on it..and i already put 1500 miles on it...i was just wondering if anyone has done this before.

 

Well, first off, if you're thinking that EVERYONE's tranny goes out, you're mistaken. The frequency of postings about it here are not neccessarily representative of the entire Z population. Also, what year is your car? They have gone through several revisions to the transmission since the '03 model and I don't think the newest ones are having problems; for any that are, I'd be willing to bet that operator treatment of the tranny has alot to do with it. Do you think you'll pass 60k miles within 4 years of the car first being titled? Regardless of what your odometer reads, when 4 years have passed from the car being sold to it's first owner, the warranty is up on the drivetrain (unless you purchased an extended warranty, but then you wouldn't be worried aboiut the 60k mark).

To answer your question: NO, I don't think anyone has done what you are proposing. Drive the car, enjoy it and you have plenty of warranty left for the time being; if anything was going to go wrong, it'll likely happen within that time frame. If you're so paranoid about it that you're considering such shady measures to begin with, you probably should have bought an extended warranty.

My '03 Track had a 5th gear grind when I bought it in May of '05 with 17k miles. Local dealer (diff. from where I bought it) replaced the tranny under warranty no questions asked. I don't think my tranny is the newest version out and I haven't had any problems at all since. I don't abuse it, either; if you drive the car hard, don't expect not to have to pay in the future for the extra enjoyment you've wrung out of it.
