Why?
im not gonna debate a 7AT Vs 6MT
but I will share my experience with you since you asked
When I had 6MT 350z in the pass and was tracking it as well. It was good and everything then when the time came for the 370z. The 7AT proved to be a much more advance auto tranny than their previous one on the 350z which suck.
7AT with its paddle shifter was quite attractive and very fast shifting.
I was 50/50 between the 2 of them. Im not into drifting so the use o the clutch isn't that needed.
So after going on the track and being quite aggressive I discovered some flaws on the 7AT that made me switch back to the 6MT mosty because I blew the VVEL head and I didn't want to put another VVEL engine in there and I went with the HR head swap

the switch from 7AT to a 6MT isnt too bad
I could have went on the cheap side with used OEM stuff (clutch pedal assy. master cylinder and hose...) but I didnt.

Budget was another big reason since the warranty didn't cover my engine.
The 7AT needs the 370z ECU to function and since it wasn't there anymore I couldn't use it and then find some fix to correct the flaws Ive seen on the track.
