Transmission failure

Attitude? reference earlier comment on how the F**K do you abuse 6th? hard downshift from reverse? Not my first stick and the first one I've ever had a problem with. When i said sixth gear is bad and showed the man he asked me if i track the car and i just said it's 6th his response "oh." It's already been approved by NISSAN.

Shifted hard into 6th every since i bought it like it took a little more effort than other gears until it dropped in. Start making the standard zipper sound, then progressed to Zipper + grind. If i double clutch and baby it(like 6 seconds to move in from 5) it shifts like the same old crap it was new but you could feel it was bouncing a bit. All in all totally unacceptable for a new car to have 6th gear or even 5th gear problems. The amount of torque those gears see doesn't amount to much that is why they are physically about half the size and beefyness of first gear(thinner and such). Also is why 1 and 2 get double cone syncro's and the rest are single. Chock this one up as one of the reasons to kick an engineer in the balls.
