You can definitely bend the shift fork. The Sentra's were famous for developing a popout in 5th gear from owners resting their hand on the shift knob while cruising.

I don't think it is in the Z's manual, but the owner's manual for my subaru warns that resting your hand on the knob can prematurely wear out synchro's.
