Yeah it's not the rifle bolt slick is it? It feels like it won't break but...

WRX, STi, and Scion TC also smoother than the 370Z for me. This is the clunkiest most grinding trans (I have the 5th gear grind) I have ever driven.

If I don't shift very slowly from 6th to 5th, it grinds. Every other shift is fine. I see you posted in the "5th gear grind" thread.

Ain't it funny, somebody complaining about "THE 5th gear grind" as if it's normal? Couldn't be abuse. Naaaaaah.

I have a hard time seeing a 5th or 6th gear grind coming from abuse. Unless I am an oddity or smoking crack most of the abuse happens in the lower gears, 1,2,3..sometimes 4...

RX-8, Corvette, Miata, 350z all had less clunky transmission. I guess the only one that came as bad as the 370 is maybe the GT3. I have 1200 miles on my car, the thing feels worse and worse every time. I know Nissan wont do anything when I take it back, but I still want them to document the problem before I replace the fluid. Hopefully it will be better once I swap new fluids in

Let me know how that comes out, I would also consider it. The Amsoil full Synth. is considered some of the best in the business.

I have about 10k miles on my car. no grinding.. knock on wood.

red6spd · 05-19-2010, 04:57 PM

Thats weird. Yea I posted on there wondering if anyone with 2010's were having the tranny problems.

allenhhp · 05-20-2010, 06:32 AM

I do not like our tranny either.
both my friends' GTI and WRX have better tranny than mine.

allenhhp · 05-20-2010, 06:35 AM

I grind on 2nd gear. My previous 240sx had the some problem for me.
anyone grind 2nd?

gumpy · 05-20-2010, 07:29 AM

I use to grind the 3rd gear but it now doesn't so it's either broken in or broken... hmm...

cossie1600 · 05-20-2010, 12:17 PM

Every gear is clunky, especially 2nd
