I have a new 2012 370Z MT and have to say my transmission is the same and agree with the original poster. Its not bad at all on freeways or country roads in 3rd gear + but 1st and 2nd, city driving takes a lot of skill to drive it smoothly. It takes practice to drive, especially while cold and I have to admit its pretty annoying at times when I just want to cruise around without concentrating on shifting. I have found that shifting at higher RPM like 3-4 is best and you really have to have a solid foot on the clutch and let it out very deliberately. All n all its a very raw and unrefined car, but maybe thats a good thing and you just have to get used to it to master it.
