All of this has significantly increased over time. I need help! Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m resurrecting this post.
I just got my tranny (32010-cd008) replaced and they also replaced the clutch pedal assmy (46503-cd011).
I never had a grinding problem, but I did have a whining noise for the first few minutes of driving in cold temps.
As an added bonus I don't seem to get the clatter noise in neutral.

I just got my transmission replaced AGAIN! This is my second replacement and have put 500 miles on it. Knock on wood, so far all the gears engage without any grind. I was thinking on replacing the nissan trans fluid with Royal Purple or Redline. What do you guys think?

Also 350Z tranny fluid is 75-85 and Royal Purple is 75-90. If you are going to change tranny fluid, use Redline 70-80(GL-4).
I had experience with both fluid with my previous 2003 350Z and Royal Purple made my tranny very sticky. When I used Redline, it made shifting little smoother. Its because its little thinner fluid vs 75-85(OEM Nissan 350Z tranny fluid)
Now I have 2004.5 Roadster which I got 3/2004 right before I turned in my 2003 350Z back to Nissan. Now its much better. Its still knochy but its not as bad as my old Z. I had both coupe and roadster for about a month at the same time.
Just for FYI, there is new tranny out which is 009.

The question is do they want to go to bat for you or blow you off because it's too much work. We have replaced so many tranny's at my store that it through up a red flag and we are facing a warranty audit from Nissan. It's not a problem, just an inconvenience. I won't let my customers put up with a trans that pisses them off and I hope your dealer is the same way. we are supposed to enjoy these cars...... and put on more Nismo parts!!

I just got my car back with its 3rd Tranny. Original and 2 replacements=3!! Anyway, It's feeling pretty good but they did NOT put the 009 in, They put in another 008 according to my service invoice. I wanted the 009 because I heard that it corrects the problem. I guess in another 10k Miles I'll need another Tranny and I should demand the 009. I just want to be done with this problem so I can MOD my car and not have to worry about a $2500 tranny replacement.

Service will need to find something wrong with it first. A grind or whatever. I carry them in stock and it will take a full day. PM me your phone number, I will talk with Tim in Service and he will call you.

007's and 008's are old inventory. The new "PROPER" number is 009!!! Yes, the parts books show the above (007 and 008), but it will superceed to the new number (009).... unless they have an old unit in stock they are trying to unload.
