I agree with digi, the only issues I have are annoyances. I can occasionally grind 1st -> 2nd if im really driving it hard but its not frequent enough to reproduce and have nissan warranty it. Not everyone experiences this grind, but I started getting it with 300 miles on the car.
The transmission is noisy and not the smoothest, but I still enjoy driving it and wouldn't trade for an automatic. Perhaps once you drive a more refined gearbox (M3) this transmission might feel worse =]
My issue with lurching and clutch dragging is related to the clutch I chose (southbend), I sent it back and hopefully they can tell me what was causing it as I'd like to use the clutch again if I go FI, it felt great aside from the frequent engagement issues.
