In the DSM community, TRE and John Shepherd were well known for their awesome aftermarket transmissions.
As far as my 350z goes, i started having your identical problems at 6K. At 47K miles im now about to get my 5th transmission. Keep an eye on that for potential future problems.

Im currently arguing a lemon law case with Nissan on this exact issue and was offered a quick settlement (2K + lawyer costs) to keep it out of court within a few weeks of filing against them. Im thinking they know that their transmission department (ie GTR) isn't up to par but dishing out settlements is a more cost effective way to "fix" the problem.

Keep us posted on future similar problems.
