My 5th synchro failed during some open-lap day tracking at 38k miles. I try to shift easy without hammering the synchros too much, but am the 2nd owner.( maybe the first owner wasn't so kind). No rev matching or easing the shift would prevent a 5th gear grind (up or down). The new box feels great, but I suppose I have to consider the synchros a wear item, even though I really baby them, even on the track...
I have a factory preowned drive-train warranty to 100 k though, so Nissan dropped a new one in for me. I'll see how this one holds up.
