I have a 07 350z manual transmission (nismo) with about 48,000 miles. I bought it at about 24,000 miles and remember the gears changing effortlessly. Lately, I've noticed a lot of drag shifting between all gears, and shifting into 3rd gear feels extra notchy, although not quite grinding yet.

Any suggestions? Do I need to top off or change transmission fluid? Is this just normal wear and tear?

 

Couldn't hurt.

 

Redline MT-85

 

If fluid replacement didnt change the symptoms much, look into clutch engagement point. There is a possibility that the clutch doesn't disengage fully.

 

try motul gear 300 . felt the difference in my hr.

 

could you point me in the direction of how to do that. Maybe a video or forum page please.
