Another transmission.
 

Well, first I know I am about to get flamed and everyone is going to say it was my 90 freaking seconds of doing donuts in a dirt pit that ruined my transmission, but my car is at the dealer now for transmission #3. Yesterday I got in it was driving and it did that stupid grinding into 6th gear crap again. Synch-Rev is some cool **** but damn, its a hassle having to replace these things, it seems like when I change my oil I need a new transmission, this one only got 2500 miles before the 6th gear synchros went again.

Have you posted the VIN of this vehicle yet, thx in advance, I want to red alert carfax. :icon14:

Syncro-rev has nothing at all to do with the transmission, it is implemented in the engine computer. The only thing in the transmission for syncro-rev is a few sensors in the gate.

Try going easy on the transmission for at least 1500 miles to let it break in before you start beating on it again.

i babied the hell out of that new trans until it had 2000 miles on it.. i rarely drive the thing hard because i don't want to waste the gas.. the reason i blame it on synch rev is because to my knowledge the only 370's with the trans issue are the ones w/ synchrev and no i haven't posted it yet usually by the time i leave work and get home i have about a million other things on my mind.

I have to agree! the Dealer's going to start if not all ready questioning how your driving habits are.

Well you can always disable syncro-rev this time around and see what happens.

Thought about it but that will just irritate me. I paid for it and I want to use it lol

What makes me mad more than anything is my girlfriend has a pg touring and she has no issues whatsoever w/ hers, beats the hell out of it constantly and honestly she can kinda drive but not really. So she proceeds to make fun of me for mine breaking

then it might be a case of bad luck, maybe the next one is the keeper and if not, lemon law needs to be considered!

I am going to have to look into the lemon law bit.. i don't exactly know how it works

If your your car has been to the Dealer for multiple repairs on a problem or problems, it can can qualify for the lemon law. if this happens one more time I would try to get the car replaced period. You bought a new car not a used one.

You get a whole new car just like that?

yes but there has to be a proven or tracked problem or ploblems with the car. the law was created to protect the consumer.

Well you do not get a new car just like that, you have to go through the legal method and have all the paperwork in place. If it is ruled in your favor then they must replace your vehicle with an equal product that you bought.

thanks for the details dreamer, like they say the devil's in the details.

Well if this one bites the dust then I will have to look into that. Thanks for the info fellas

Exactly, the lemon law is similar to that moss whatever act people use for aftermarket parts. The lemon is great to protect the consumer, but you, the consumer, must provide everything and prove the faults. I have yet to ever have to use it, but I know there are loopholes for the manufacture to screw you.

Example I know:
~Person bought a computer and had the laptop repaired 4 times, state says 3 is the limit and you are eligible for a replacement, and all 4 repairs were for the same issue. The company, we will call them Better Buy (tough one to figure out), filled out the repair under two different ID numbers, so the person ended up with 2 repairs and then another 2 repairs. Company took it and won because it "the person only received 2 repairs for the issue."

yea that makes sense also the consumer has to save his documentation to insure he don't get screwed, that way for he has proof that it's been to the dealer for the same thing or things repeated times.

I have a hard time feeling sympathy here......

:iagree:

The proper car for that type of "stunt" is the 20+ year old Buick LeSabre your parents gave you for your 16th birthday present. There is no possible excuse for treating a Z this way.

Doesn't quite look like he's in 6th gear there.

:D

My first car was an 89 Buick Lesabre. I loved my car :(

So abusing the car in first gear is OK then?,,,,,errr...Ok..:shakes head:

wat!!! :eek:

the general lees tranny went south again!!!

you may need to look into lemon lawing that z...i think its possessed!

YouTube - 370z Mudding lol


:iagree: just hope that dealer doesn't look into our forum or internet. I have seen that video posted in several big sites (incl. Jalopnik, autoblog etc)

370Z trannies giving pains-in-the-neck already?! Have you heard anything 'bout the ATs? I own an '04.5 Touring Coupe 350Z with an AT, and it's been f-l-a-w-l-e-s-s, so far. After doing some searches, I've been able to find out that MTs in Zeds are much more troublesome than ATs. Weird, it's usually the other way around in other auto makes.

Don't take it personally... that just happened to be the car my parents let me drive when I first got my license. It might just have sucked because it was my mom's instead of my dad's... "What's a dipstick?"

No, just saying that blaming that behavior on the 6th gear syncro going out is iffy at best. It may be possible that it had something to do with it, but it's not real likely.

I know when I bought my car I signed something about the lemon law so use it cuz you paid for it.
