Just thought I'd share that I have experienced an issue with the transmission of my 370Z. I think the syncros for 6th are going. I first noticed it when I drove to San Antonio for work and suddenly was scratching going into 6th. Then I noticed that the higher the revs I'm pulling when I go into 6th, the worse it is. That means that a 4-6 upshift will scratch more than a 5-6, and a 3-6 is even worse. I've scheduled a dropoff at a dealership back in Houston tomorrow. I will update you guys, but hopefully it's just an issue with mine since these transmissions have pretty much been in production for years.

A buddy of mine suggested the SyncroRevMatch (SRM) feature, but SRM is really like a overhyped cruise control feature that actuates the throttle and doesn't really do anything to the transmission.
