Who makes our Transmission

red6spd · 05-16-2010, 06:46 PM

What up guys, I was wondering who makes the MT transmission for the 370. Is it in house by Nissan or an out side company????? Thanks guys.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Z. But we do need to be objective about these things. I have driven all of these except the Honda (taking word of mouth on that one), and they all have smoother shifters with equal or better precision to our clunky one. Just telling it the way I feel it.

I 2nd that it is damn clunky. Coming from driving a Mustang and an s2000 often, the Nissan gearbox is the worst I've seen. It scares the hell out of me sometimes, I do a double take on if it was a clunk or a grind, thankfully it's just a clunk. I'm going to try to change the tranny fluid in the near future and see if that helps.

Push the clutch in ALL the way and 2nd engages like a rocket... just have to learn to drive with different gearboxes...

This transmission is OK but it's not the best direct input transmission out there. The Tremecs in the late model Mustangs are freaking nice... wish ours were more like that.

Tremecs are the best out there.

The clunky transmission has always been a complaint. My Altima had a really noisy clunky tranny. But it was a great tranny. Very precise. So big deal its a little noisy.
