5th gear "crunching" with shift

LennyZCSD · 12-04-2012, 08:36 AM

My wife made a very good point, THESE ARE $40,000 SPORTS CARS,, meant to be driven. I have heard they use "Paper Synchros" much the same as the clutch material in an automatic, apparently they are not up to the task..
There are tons of complaints on these trannies, I think Nissan need to address this issue. I don't think that we should have to replace the transmission every time we do an oil change, just making a funny here but it's close to that.
They talk about how much HP they can handle, 600hp is what they say, really, how about handling the stock HP...
Maybe what we need to do , and I hate to say this but a class action law suit to get someone at Nissan to do something.
On my old Z cars I got 100,000 plus out of my clutches with no problems and 300,000 on the Tranny,,, maybe it's the noisy *** clutch package that is to blame but it is surely not my or your lack of ability to handle a stick,, I have been driving a stick since the 60"s, lots of old school HP with old school trannys,, never had problems like this,,, Oh God,,, maybe I should have gotten my 370 with the DREADED AUTOMATIC.
NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS CRAP!!! I wonder if they have this problem in JAPAN?
