Default tranny problems

I have a 2003 350z touring and my car has been locking me out of 2nd gear and 6th gear like today i got on it in first gear and shifted to 2nd and it locked me out and ground and i didnt slam the shift or shift hard at all and i was completely on the clutch and it seems to not want to go into 6th gear frequently. I was thinking the synchros were going bad or they already were bad. So i wanted to know if anyone else has had the same or similar problems or if anyone has any ideas of what it could be. Thanks.

I think you forgot a few of these in there somewhere.



Also, when's the last time you changed your tranny fluid?

Haha I'm sorry i typed it up really quick before I went to the gym. But yea I bought the car 5 months ago so it hasnt been changed since I bought it, which I put about 5,000 miles on it since I bought it. I'm going with it was changed before they put it up for sale because it was a certified used car, so maybe like 6k-7k miles ago.

Sounds like a serious problem. You need either a used or rebuilt transmission.
