So I took my car to independent garage and had the owner test the shifting and he said it is not normal. He referred me to another Nissan Dealer who he has worked with in the past. I went there this morning met with the service manager / shop forman had him sit in my car and test the shifting he agreed with me that its not right.
He took the car and 45 minutes later he came out and we went for a drive, the car shifts perfectly now!!!!
There is no resistance on 5/6th any more and I also find that 1st and 2nd are smoother now also!!!
He said that the guide plate was not aligned properly, and also couldn't believe that my dealer would not repair it correctly.
So now I am left with some cosmetic damage on my console and all my wasted time back and forth to the original dealer. I think I am going to send them a registered letter giving them the chance to pay for their damages and incompetence and if they refuse then I will file claim in smalls claims court.
