Its the worst going into 2nd, and i have been "babying" my car while shifting lately, it sucks. Is this my clutch or tranny and what do I need to do to fix the problem? Someone please help its driving me crazy.
Also i got the car from a previous owner at about 21k miles and its at 37k now. I never have changed/added/flushed my tranny fluid....

Interesting. I'd be curious to know what this is.
I bought my Z new, and since day one it's
occasionally felt like the transmission almost wants to grind going from 1-2 (and 1-2 only). These are casual, commuting-to-work shifts. It's always when it's cold out (<40 F), and always when the transmission/engine is cold. It almost feels like I don't have the clutch in enough, even though my foot's on the floor. It doesn't make any noise but I can feel it in the stick. Once warmed up, shifts are smooth.
It's not gotten any more frequent or worse in the 1 year and 12K miles that I've put on the car, and I'm still on the factory fluids (except oil & gas, obviously). I chalk it up to being "normal" along with all the other clunky behaviors of this transmission.
I don't dislike the Z's manual, it's just particular about how it's driven. She's a sensitive girl. She doesn't like the cold. Part of the fun of owning a manual.
