Notchy 5th and 6th gear
 
Hello

I just purchased a new 2010 roadster with touring and sport.

I only have 300 miles or so on it.

I've noticed shifting up to 5th and 6th or down shifting from 6th to 5th is really nothcy..

I have not heard any grinding but it is def notchy. (sometime have difficulty getting in to gear.)

Is this something I need to really worry about or is this common for 370z's.

Should I try amsoil mtg maybe?? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Thank you...

Better tranny fluid might help. The "Z" MT has a certain character all it's on. From what I remember, though, most complaints involve 1st - 2nd shifts.

my 1 thru 4 is butter.

getting in to 5th and 6th is ok. on 1 to 2000 rpm. but anything more then that. it is noticeably notchy and clunky..

It seems like redline mt85 for tranny is pretty good for these cars?

That's what I am running now.

I took it in to Nissan today and had the lead tech test drive. I got the same o' thing everyone gets. "ITS PERFECTLY NORMAL".

Test drive another. If its the better make the tech drive it and explain. Or tell them to have the regional tech do that at your appt.
