Word.. Meant FI in general. Thanks.

Unless you will be unhappy without a clutch pedal, you will love it -- it is really, really good!

Also: As fast or slightly faster in road tests than the 6MT; puts down the same power on the dyno due to full lock-up in 2-7th gear.

I emailed one of the guys @ STILLEN and they said it was holing up fine. BUT i wanna hear this from somone that bought one and drove it for a bit. Not the seller. (Sorry STILLEN guys)

And I must know, what else do we need to have done before slapping on that supercharger.

The AT tranny was underrated in the 350z world too.. Lots of false assumptions..

This is what i'm worried about. I promised myself a MT this time but I really know how to work the manual mode and I know the 370z will have one worlds better than the 5AT..

6MT or 7AT? Damn.

Humans where made to drive only AT.

Heheh, next time im going to try to use both of my feet, one for brake and one for gas... wonder how that will turn out.

Mr&Mrs · 10-26-2010, 02:28 AM

Just dont hit the brake like it is a clutch when I first got mine, you might leave a tooth in the steering wheel lol. I also have only owned MT until this 7AT, I love it. I think someone else mentioned above though it does act a little retarded at low speeds when barely pressing the gas.

I like mine a lot. It's not as smooth and quiet as some modern ATs (like the one I had in my 335i) at low speed, but when driving aggressively it shifts/ downshifts very fast. The left/ right paddles for downshift and upshift are also great.

TongMan · 10-30-2010, 03:11 AM

It's funny how people buy automatics that mimics a manual transmission.

I've never had to step on all three pedals at once so I'm on the fence about this.

The auto was my choise because of the the never ending gear grinding discussions for the MT inside the 350z..370z forum
The problem of the auto in M Mode are the 7 gears ..there a two overdrives 7,6 and to down shift in M mode to the right gears it take to long if you are in 7th. on the german autobahn the 5th gear is good for 250Km/h (look inside the service maunel) but the fuel consumtion ist idotic versus the fun factor .. the 370z is not a snowplow in a state under the rule of law :-(
Best useable mode is auto with wheel shifters ..cause the auto mode is non sequential..cause it is not a sequential gearbox..its a very good optimised flawless oldscool auto ...bravo Jatco well done :-)

does anyone else get a "thump" when in manual mode slowing down from say 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to 1st. Doesn't happen all the time but just worries me.
