They were never known for having a silky smooth transmission.

My 280ZX had a very nice tranny, extremely smooth compared to the current 6mt's. Like I always tell people, my 1978 Datsun B210 and my 1980 Nissan/Datsun pickup had a far better MT's than Nissan uses in the Z's.....................and that’s sad.
