Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Synchrorev match transmission reliability?

Rahul718 · 01-22-2015, 09:13 AM

Hey guys,

I currently have a 07 350z 6mt and I am looking for another car. It's currently between the e92 M3 and the NISMO 370z (2013+). Reliability is a huge concern for me and I wanted to know how robust the synchrorev transmission is. I'm not one for advanced technology in my cars because I feel there's more that can break. The synchrorev transmission is perhaps the only negative thing I associate with the 370Z, though I know it can be turned on/off.

Since there's a good amount of computer input in this transmission, I just wanted to know how reliable it is. Is there anyone here with a 6mt that has racked on a lot of miles and not had a single issue with the transmission? Am I overthinking the complexity of this transmission?

I'm not worried about the engine at all. I know these HR engines are awesome. My 2007 Z with the HR engine has 100k miles and has never burned a drop of oil or has dropped in performance. It's just the synchrorev transmission that strikes me as an item that's more prone to fail since it's heavier on the electronic end. I could be wrong. If I am, let me know.

Thanks!
