If you're getting it from 4-6, it won't be long before it's 4-5 and 5-6.. But that's crap. Nissan is fully aware they have synchro issues on 6MT's, I'm just surprised it's lived through the G37 and now to the 370Z..
They have replaced a LOT of transmissions.. for me alone 3 replacements.. |

That's one to remember. It sounds like one should wait until the grinding happens in a 5-6 shift, and then go to the dealer and complain.

That has got to be one of the most ANNOYING ANNOYING ANNOYING pieces of bullsh!t I've ever heard in my entire life NAME & SHAME those dealers - they care so little for their customers that they don't deserve to sell another car - EVER. How DARE they deny your reasonable claim on those grounds? Phone Nissan Customer Care and speak to a manager about it. Write a letter of complaint to the CEO of Nissan North America, copy it to Carlos Ghosn, copy it to all the campaigning TV shows you can think of, put a video on YouTube and then post it here in a new thread, so we can make a big thing of it. Give these ****s as much bad publicity as they deserve. Who did you say they were again?...

The nissan dealorship in temple, tx. They were very rude to me about it too. I don't think I could do all that though, since I'm in the army I might get in trouble with going to the press and all.

I've never heard that it's bad to skip gears.. EVER.. I'd say they were feeding you a load of crap. I've skipped gears on many, many cars.. for many, many years without any weird things happening. Sometimes 5th and 6th ratios are so close, when cruising it's almost a waste of time upshifting through all the gears.

Chubbs, you're right, these guys should never be able to sell another car to any other unfortunate soul that might have to deal with them. Screw those guys. I've been skipping gears on 5spd and 6spd cars for the last 10 years and have never heard of such BS!!

That's what I told them. The service advisor said that he's never dricin a car like that or known anybody that has. He also said that it says in the car manual the shift the gears in numerical sequence

I would tell the dealer you and Nissan are even. They skipped the oil cooler and you skipped a gear.
