I've got over 100K on my stock motor and trans mounts and they're fine. Stock clutch is still going strong. FWIW... |
No I did not specifically ask them too. When I picked up the car for other work the dealer gave me a sheet with a break down. I know some techs can be lazy and just say it’s good. However I have an extended warranty through a third party, so I would assume techs and asm is hold want to replace as much as they can. Transmission was replaced due to 6th gear synco grinding at about 60k. Tech said clutch had about 70% life left, but he’s been frustratingly wrong with my car before. I had a g35 before the g37 and had motor mounts fail and I know why to look for, or at least a good idea. The motor doesn’t move or knock and the sound I hear on the G37 is more of a thud, kinda feel it in your body a little bit.

I’ve considered that as well. The issue has been going on for a while, but is getting progressivly worse. Made me think maybe it was the clutch. The reason I’m now starting to look at it, I had planned on picking up a new car. Plans fell through, and now I’m keeping the G for the foreseeable future.
I really don’t drive the car hard. Haven’t raced it in almost 2 years. It’s really been a point a to b car for a while.
