I don't blame you at all, you deserve some enjoyment out of your setup. You'll have to work pretty hard to kill the new version by New Year. But, if you're looking for volunteers, I'll fly out to help.

That new tranny should smooth up pretty nicely for you. It's the same version that's in my car. Mine was notchy at first, but after some use and abuse, it's much smoother.

Very nice dutch, sounds like an amazing build. I have around 530 miles on this tranny and its getting smoother and smoother, Ive been trying to drive it as much as I can but its been really cold lately, in the mid 20's to low 30's so I cant even use 3rd (or 4th) because I spin

I got my car at Pfieffer Infiniti in Grand Rapids, it's about 20 minutes from here. I drove the car down to Georgia. I was getting shipping quotes of around $1,200.00 one way for an enclosed transport. Anytime you want to meet up, let me know. I am always up for a little drive if you want to check out my car.

bad luck man, but we're you suprised the box would go shifting like that
why the need to be so brutal with the box, not even motoring journos or the BM guys dont drive like that and they dont own the cars
send that video to Nissan and see whether they'd do a warranty job
