My Nismo had 60 miles on it when I bought it from the dealer and I was worried that it may have been taken for a ride or two before I picked it up. Lots of people on here talk about the shift from 1st to second being stiff, but I have found that 2nd gear does not seem to grab as hard as it should. I went to another dealer this past weekend and test drove the only manual they had on the lot (non-sport) to compare and 2nd gear grabbed very nicely from 1st to second. Should I be concerned that someone ate up the clutch on a test drive or am I just being paranoid? I really have to pause for a second right when the clutch starts to grab and am not able to release as quickly as I feel like I should. The 6sp non-sport I drove, fell into gear much more easily.
