7AT grinding issues for anyone?

StealthZ · 07-29-2010, 08:12 PM

My buddy got a new 7AT 370z, and he is more than anal about his car, and has done his break in to Nissan recommendation etc... and now with about 2.5k miles on the clock during regular street driving in both full auto and sport mode (paddle) on down shifts to 1st gear, there is a definitive grinding sound. Before he takes it to Nissan I just wanted to check with anyone else here if they have knowledge on an issue like this or potential cause.
I know about sincros going in MT cars as I've had that issue before on my own vehicles. But low miles, not aggressively driving it, and normal temps this is something a little weird.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
