Nismo 6mt owners: Excessive transmission chatter?

Rahul718

Hey guys,

2nd gear low rpm (1200ish) crawling in traffic I'll hear chatter from the transmission. Not sure if it's the flywheel, clutch or tranny itself. It does seem to get worse the longer the car has been driven so maybe it's connected to temperature and heat. 3rd gear does it at the same rpm too...not that I usually drive that low rpm but I was curious to see if other gears would do it too which is how I found out about 3rd. Last week Nissan replaced the tranny due to a grinding gear so the new tranny only has 160 miles on it and I've been driving it very easy. The tech stated that he didn't touch the clutch and flywheel.

Not sure if the Nismo Z models come equipped with Nismo flywheels, so that's why this is specifically directed to Nismo owners. But if we share the same flywheel with our base and non-Nismo counterparts, I'd welcome that feedback

Is there a temperature connection with the chatter and does the fact that this happens in more than 1 gear point away from an internal transmission issue?

Thanks!
