Tbh my transmission is loud, it sounds like plates rattling when you put the clutch down in 1st or 2nd, sometimes getting into 2nd is a little clunky or feels like it's catching the sides. If your coming off the gas and shifting into second but sorta coasting to a stop then there's a rattle again sounding like two plates hitting each other or something under the car. Once i'm out of 2nd I don't have any problems with any other gear just 1st and 2nd. Also I think your right, sometimes I have to be very slow and deliberate to get smooth sweet gear changes, other times this just doesn;t work and makes the journey very jerky and I have to move quickly through the gears, revving high in first to get a smooth gear change. But sometimes if i rev high in first the gear change is horrendous lol. I'm putting it down to me 1. not being a professional driver, 2. Change in weather conditions/how much the car has warmed up 3. Maybe a slightly weaker point of the car in comparison to how well put together the rest of it is. Mine in a 62 (late 2012) plate car, I bought it with 2,000 miles on and it now has 6k on the clock... oh and it did it from the day i picked it up lol so thats why i believe i haven't done it to the car. I took it to nissan dealership who said they couldn't hear anything wrong with it lol... must have just been my ears picking up the clunks, and plate rattle then... tbh now i've just put it down to the car being pretty manly, australian almost in it's rawness haha!
