Status report: On my third transmission. Last one was put it somewhere around 20,000 miles. My first tranny started grinding from 5th to 6th and the second from 4th to 5th.

I just hit 50,000 miles. This transmission has been grinding from 4th to 5th now too for about 10-15,000 miles now...not getting it fixed because the warranty is up. No real problems though if I shift slowly from 4th to 5th...sometimes I just skip 5th altogether. It's become almost second nature to me now and the only time I notice it is on the rare occasion where I'm actually topping out in 4th and need to shift to 5th (somewhere around 120-130mph) At that speed it's impossible to not grind it no matter how long the clutch pedal is down..you just have to slam it in gear..

After 3 trannys, 2 master slave cylinders, 2 steering lock solenoids (that one wasn't under warranty) I think my Z has finally decided to stop breaking...*knock on wood*
