My car rarely lurches anymore since I changed my clutch and things have become way way more livable. I know what you're saying about the shifting too fast too...its like it doesnt want to let you get into gear until the engine speed has been reduced a bit. You can muscle it in there, but it feels like you're forcing something... We all have the same stupid problem and I have a feeling the whining we are hearing might be a side effect of the shifting issues. Maybe the great SRM system isn't so great after all and is actually causing issues in the long run...I'm going to swing by the dealer and ask a tech about it. God forbid someone who works on these cars all day everyday might know something about the issue... I too am very very tired of this transmission, it literally ruined the car for me.

shifter re-alignment - MY350Z.COM Forums I don't think I'm that handy with tools to do this job, so I may have my dealer do it for me on the next oil change. Quote:

Raul, about a week ago I had a 100% stock 370 in the shop, It had 1st gr "lurch" , but only if depress the clutch and immediately throw it into 1st gr. If you wait a second longer it won't lurch at all. I totally agree the trans in our car is a moody bitch, but some how the one in my car is perfect, no "lurch" or grinds and you know I beat the hell out of it ...steady power shifting!

also...fwiw, I mic'ed you dxd clutch disc and the clutchmasters and the clutchmasters was .5 mm thinner.
Also I spoke with Joe , who makes the metal csc and said has a different csc that a little bit more throw which might help everybody else as the problem feels like the clutch is slightly dragging for a split second making it "lurch" the car forward.

Sadly if my transmission comes apart again, its to get put back to stock. I'm not putting another cent into it. If Joe wants to let me test and you want to help with labor then I'll do it for the sake of helping the rest of the folks on the site out, otherwise people can wait until the next person that needs to switch clutch or wants to try and fix the issue.

After the first week, I stopped using the S-mode. After about a month, I stopped using VDC unless I was in a downpour or snowy/icy driving surface. Those items are good ideas, but very intrusive and downright unrefined. Wonder if someone will offer tuning solutions for those systems as well. If not, I will simply leave S-mode off (most of the time) and see if I can have VDC off by default.

vdc off is easy disconnect the yaw sensor or put a momentary interrupt button in it's power wire that will totally kill both phases of the vdc. i'm used to the clutch lurch from my kawi's multiplate but my z shows no sign of lurch, although shifting is a pain sometimes. the synchro's are garbage maybe os giken could just come out with replacements for those bitches.

BTW, I don't want to permanantly disable VDC. I just want to be able to start the car and have it off by default, but turn it on if I let someone else drive or there is/are water, snow, ice, or marbles on the road...........

If you really want it there is a device available that basically presses the button for you on start up and you can still toggle it back and forth. Search the forums and you should find it.

I think KP technologies makes a module for the vdc switch.

Yup... count me in. It can't be the shift gates. After a week of driving I wondered why the gearbox required more effort than usual to the point it was difficult getting out of gear from park and even shifting in all of the gears. I did the "lurch" test and confirmed it, but it's very minor.
When the car was in the shop with the new clutch and ZSpeed CSC, the master cylinder failed, too! Also, the juddering issue is getting better. Guess it is still breaking in. Is it stock, and does it clunk when you get in 1st?
