Just take it easy on 5th gear if you can. You probably don't need to be slamming into 5th anyway. But yeah budget for a replacement while they're still around. Check out Liberty Gears if you want to build it (and spend $$$ lol).
Mine has done it since about 20K miles. I demonstrated it to the dealer and they wouldn't warranty it.

Since the new Z uses a carryover trans from the 370Z (but with better 1-2 synchros), it should be around for a long time if it’s a drop in replacement.

Yeah I don't know whether they will just change up the bell housing or what. Hopefully you're right and it will continue to be a drop in replacement.

Slept on this last night....
so the decision is to wait till the end of the track season to replace it. reasons: -- Road Atlanta only track I do that needs 5th. all others are 4th. (AMP/Barber) -- time to budget for it. -- then after the season, no rush to get it in to be done... -- as JARblue mention, check out Liberty Gears ,if learned never to say never Thanks all in helping educate me, always learning and trying...
