I have been driving manual transmission cars for 20 years and have never had a problem doing this.
I am out of town so a friend is going to pick up my car and bring it to the other dealer.
The service manager tried to tell me that the 370z transmission is a whole different animal because of the syncro-rev match.  |
That's BS. If you are having an issue with the car grinding into 6th gear it's a bad synchro. There are a number of members here who have had their transmissions replaced under warranty because of this.
