Then you got ripped off. There is NO reason you should pay up front and then have to get a refund from Nissan. That is ridiculous. First of how much is a new tranny and clutch with labor? $5,000??
Unless you have MOds that CAUSED the problem, you need to contact a lawyer. Mine was replaced to questions asked

Here we go again.
I had 2003 350Z and turned it in because it had so issue with tranny for 2004 Roadster and now, I am having issues with tranny again.
Took it to Cerritos Nissan and they are going to order me a new tranny.
They say it would take few day.
I hope I don't have to go through what I went through with my last Z.

Mine was replaced Once at 17k, now have 19k miles. I see some of you have had it replaced multiple times. I'm glad I have an extended warranty for another 3 years because while I love the car, I just don't trust it. I come from a bunch of reliable yet not nearly as cool cars, 88 integra, 99 sentra se, 95 corolla, toyota pickup, even some amercian cars which were all virtually trouble free. This car has been a handful between the tire feathering and the tranny issue and it should not be. I have a very early model 03 and I know there will be more problems. I'm thinking about getting out of the car in about a year.

I have an early model 03 and since I had my trans last replaced @ 12K miles and had an alignment done to fix the feathering, I've had ZERO problems with this car..and I now have just over 36K miles.
You DO realize that the Z is a SPORTS CAR right? There's inherent baggage that comes with owning a SPORTS CAR.

I thought it was a 3 year warranty. Thanks for clearing that up. People should not be on their second and third tranny on a 2 year old car REGARDLESS of whether its a "SPORTS CAR" or not.That is complete BS. I can understand the rear tires needing replacement often, but the tranny issues and feathering are inexcusable and are design flaws, plain and simple. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THE CAR, however, I don't see having it for an extended period of time as I have with many past cars all of which cost me no more than 10k used. For now, I'm gonna continue loving this car, keep the miles low and set my sights on something new for 2008.

They did my trans and clutch work at the same time.
Depending on your HP goals and usage with your car, be careful of what clutch you go with.
I could probably highly recomend keeping the stock flywheel (FW)(see if it needs/worth resurfacing) and then get the nismo clutch.
If you are staying NA you can also get a lightened flywheel like the JWT but you WILL experience more clutch/fw wear.
Phone: 866-214-2933 , you should also pm Jason@Performance here to line that up.

It's official, Serra Nissan just ordered my new tranny today. Shifting to 2nd isn't as smooth as it used to be, shifting into 3rd grinds. I have 23.4k miles on my car. The mechanic said the new tranny is much, much stronger because Nissan finally got it through their thick skulls that people don't buy a 350Z without performance in mind. And they got tired of replacing them, so they finally just went all out and made it tough as hell.
(3rd generation, and final tranny remake he said)
Anyway, now if I can figure out why my engine makes a grinding noise sometimes when I cold-crank it.

EDIT i went back and read some of the posts on the new tranny i guess it does feel notchy into 2nd can a few more people confirm this is normal?

mc350z,
My friend has an '05 and he said it is hard to get into 2nd gear too.
I have an '04 with built date (Feb '04). Does anybody know what version of the tranny is?
Thanks,
Tony

I have an 2003 (6-03 build date). Not sure of the tranny model number. It was notch and hard to shift at first. But now with 16k miles It's loosened up considerably. When its cold its still notchy but once it warms up its nice and smooth.
