5th gear "crunching" with shift

LennyZCSD

56,000 mile on mine. I am on my 3rd transmission, the last one Nissan built special for me, a prototype,,, We will see what happens here, good thing I got the 75,000 mile warranty ,,,5th gear grinding issues happen again they will be getting the car back. Not spending $45,000 for a car I can't drive. I will drive my old Z's.......

i went thru 3 transmissions in my 5sp IS300 within 80k miles. thats because i beat the hell out of it. im curious as to how hard you are on these trannys.

My second gear has been doing that since the beginning. I have scratched it about 10 times already. I haven't taken it in because I don't think I can replicate it without shifting hard like Im racing which is usually when it happens.

My fifth gear does this too! Annoying as hell. It seems to only do it if i skip fourth though, like i hammer it in second or third, and get lazy and put it right in fifth

56,000, on my 3rd Tranny, all failed in the 5th gear synchros,,, the last one Nissan built as a prototype, so we will see what happens. This one goes bad they will be getting the car back. Thank God I bought the extended warranty!
Funny when I talk to the dealer they tell me they have never heard of this issue,, they must be politcians,, deny deny deny,, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"........

Well, it finally got bad enough where they can order me a new transmission. Currently at 43k miles. We looked at the option to replace the clutch while they're at it...they said parts for just the clutch comes out to $1,600....I was like Anyway, at least they're replacing the transmission under warranty.

After hammering it a bit on the track yesterday I'm grinding hard into 5th. Dealer is going to swap it no questions asked (in warranty). I drive an 09 with 42k miles. (I have a Nissan certified pre owned warranty that takes me out to 100k in drive-train)

I can't wait to drive my new tranny Friday

I'm disappointed that I have to swap trannys at 42k, but the previous owner seemed to be a pretty poor driver (by condition of gearbox and clutch)

Now I will have a new gearbox to go with my JWT clutch/flywheel and my Quaife diff. now that I think about it, I have pretty much a completely new drive-train the only un-swapped element is the right stub axle and my carbon drive-shaft.

I now have a 2013 transmission in my 2010, after 2 replacements.
I think it funny that they seem to have fixed a problem that they said never existed..

How nice, I'm not the only one having this issue...just grinding from 4th to 5th.

Can anyone tel me if having an RJM clutch pedal installed will void my warranty as far as the tranny goes?

My car has had funny syncros since day one. 2013 370z Base.
5th gear and 6th gear now.
Took it in to Surfcity Nissan, tech says OMG grinds bad. Got a call saying from the Service MGR that all is good and that the tech did not find anything. Lies. I just went in and got my car and left in a hurry. Didnt pay nothing. They state the spring in the clutch is bad. LOL
I put on 7600 miles a year and can drive better then 99% out there.

Called customer relations at Nissan made another appointment at Tustin Nissan. And OMG what a difference. Walked it late at 1PM told them the problems, got a tech to go with be right away he agreed. Got a rental that day. Got a call 8AM next day states new transmission on its way. Clutch only 50% gone. All covered. Great guys.

After suing and winning 2 cases at 2 different dealerships Costa Mesa Nissan and Imperio Nissan for damage to both of my cars for different things it was great for this dealership to take pride in the name Nissan. As we all know there all crooks. .....
