about 2 weeks ago my 5 gear is starting to grind. its getting on my nerves because i know that is bad for your cincros. umm any suggestions on what the hell it is?

 

sounds like you need a new tranny

 

Happen to have an '03? It's most likely your syncros going bad due to a faulty transmission.

Off topic, but where in WI are you located?

 

What year car/when was the purchase date/how many miles?

 

i have a 03 Z i just recently got it and the dealer that sold it to me said the 1st owner had a problem with i balieve was 1st to 2nd gear ginding and he got a recall on the car to nissan dealer to replace the syncros but now i have no trouble shift what so ever with my car i LOVE MY Z

 

if its under powertrain warranty, take it to the dealer and get a new transmission.

 

If it is an 03, chances are the warranty is expired. I had my tranny rebuilt by a family friend who owns a transmission shop and now it is as good as it ever was. Most people just replace the whole thing, but if you can find someone competent they might be able to save you some money by replacing the worn parts.

 

mines an 04. i mean its not that bad but if i dont push down the clutch atleast 3/4 of the way down only for 5th gear then it grinds. and plus i didnt buy my z from a nissan dealership.

 

**** Justin350z03's white z is nice as hell

 

why not just press the clutch all the way in then? That's how you would switch gears.
