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

Update
Well, I got the car back a couple days ago. They replaced the transmission, but the guy at the dealership was trying to lecture me that Nissan wants people to drive sequentially to avoid this wearing syncro issue. It's possible that a company offering a beefed up fifth and sixth gear stands to make quite a bit of money off of the out-of-warranty 6MT owners. In the DSM community, TRE and John Shepherd were well known for their awesome aftermarket transmissions.

Im currently arguing a lemon law case with Nissan on this exact issue and was offered a quick settlement (2K + lawyer costs) to keep it out of court within a few weeks of filing against them. Im thinking they know that their transmission department (ie GTR) isn't up to par but dishing out settlements is a more cost effective way to "fix" the problem. Keep us posted on future similar problems. |

I get a sticking sensation between 5-6, but I assumed it was because it wasn't completely locking me out of the "reverse" shift gate.
What I do get, even at 500 miles is grinding on 1-2 shifts if I shift quickly. Once this happened and embarrassed me a few times, I started pushing the clutch to the floor and leaving it there until I made sure I was in 2nd. It goes 1....grind, grind, 2.... then clutch out. Ouch! I started shifting slower, but crap, I shouldn't have to. All of the rest of the gears work fine. (currently at 950 miles on the odometer) :-( |
