Guys, I didnt do change my tranny oil at 30K, I now have 35K on the car do you think they'll give me hell about changing the tranny b/c my tranny oil wasnt changed? I think Im getting the 2nd gear grind. It never grinded before, Ive been driving stick a long time, its not me. Seems lately like everytime I try to do a hard pull and I go to 2nd it grinds, not slightly either. . . its blood pressure driving, hair raising, eye openening long. Can someone please please help me out, *** Nissan sucks *****, they told me the Z has never had tranny problems from what they know. Who the hell are they kidding.

Also, you are NOT required to perform those services @ a nissan dealer, so you COULD say you did have the tranny serviced elsewhere.
There is a KNOWN problem with the trans, so they really don't want to put up a fight about the potential lack of maintenance on the trans.
There must be a service bulletin on this, from Nissan, that you can obtain and present to your friends at ***.
that's my .025

I love my dealership!!!
So I finally gave my mechanic a call today to ask him what I needed to do about my tranny (grinds going in 6th). I figured I would have to bring it to him at the dealership, let someone drive it, set and appointment.....and so on. He let me describe the prob to the engine/tranny guy and he asked for the last 6 #'s of my vin. After that he said: Alright, I'll put in the order for a new tranny, it should be here within a week, two at most. We'll need you to leave it w/ us for a couple days and you'll be set. He's also gonna fix the annoying clicking sound from the axles, too. I couldn't be more pleased. No arguing, skepticism, accusations, etc. just a straight forward "We'll get you a new one" without even bringing my car to them first. I'm stoked!!

This is great, this was similar to my experience with Performance Nissan, but I was fortunate, they had alrady ordered in a couple trans, and I was taking care of that very next day.
As far as the lovely clicking sound from the axels, i've been through that before, and I am up for another one as we speak.
I'm trying to find out if there is something official about that, anyone got anything on that?
I don't think this should be considered a NORMAL maintenance item....
thanks!

I was told it was a nut (or bolt) located on or around the axles that weren't properly tightened, er torqued down to specs from the factory. Stupid robots. The mech. said it was a pretty easy fix, but it didn't sound like a maintenance item to me, just a one time thing.

More than likely there is a design problem here, or there is some maintenance factor that needs to be added due to either "wear-n-tear" which may be exagerated due to my 400+ RWHP and others with similar HP...

dealer replaced mytranny with a brand new one at 25k. no questions asked. I came in said tranny feels weird, can you check it....they called me a few hours later and said we ordered you a new tranny should be here in a few days. come back for installation. everything will be covered under warranty.

Just got my car back today, is an 03 with 25k.
New tranny
NEW CLUTCH -ALSO FREE, I was shocked cuz I didnt even ask
Fixed clunking in front end
and pretty sure they took out a bit of the oil to make my oil pressure normal which is fine cuz it was excess.
Overall very pleased with their customer service and the car feels completely different in a good way much quieter. They said Nissan will send me the paperwork in a few weeks<---is that normal?
Dealership was Hall Ford and Nissan in Lewiston, ID nice people to work with.

Did you get the 009 transmission or the 008? Also, did you get a whole clutch kit, or just the clutch, and not the pressure plate?
