Squeaky Shifter - 5th gear
 

I've been noticing on occasion my shift makes a kind-of-annoying squeaking sound whenever I shift into 5th gear.

I can't figure out when it happens/what factors cause it. It comes and goes as it pleases.

Anyone have a squeaky shifter? Any idea what it could be? Car was just under 10,000km. Not sure why it's squeaking already! :confused:

Did you ever get an answer on this issue? I have a 2011 370Z Roadster and get the same issue going into 5th gear.

Thanks

where is the noise coming from?

What does it sound like?
Plastic-on-plastic? Probably something in the console.
Metal-on-metal? Probably inside the transmission.

As new as your Z is you should not hear any noise. So it is making a squeaking noise from the shifter area? Is it a metal to metal metallic noise?

In my case, you can feel it in the shifter when you go from 4th to 5th and also from 6th back to 5th. I can't say that it feels like metal to metal or plastic to plastic.

Even though my Z is a 2011, I just crossed 35,000 miles.

Guess I will visit my Nissan Dealer after the first of the year. Even though they have made it a pain in the backside to get service from them anymore.
