Normal, It happens to me once in a while, not all the time.

if the next z is coming out with the 3TT though, im going to get me an AT one. no joke

the left ankle clicking scare i had last fall was enough to convince me to have at least one AT.

from what all the reviews have said so far of the Q50 with the 3TT say the tranny is much improved from previous models. i think the AT in the curent Z is good and they made it better supposedly. i'd stick with it for sure.

datz good to hear. i think the next z, ill probably get the one with all the bells and whistles. i was about to pull the trigger on the '15 nismo AT earlier this yr cause my ankle was still clicking each time i clutched-in/out my dd.. waz like this from last Fall

my current Z is all loaded out so i plan on doing the same with the next one given a next gen Z is made.

Really? Downshift automatically to first in manual mode? I never noticed it my Genesis. But Im going to find out soon. I have a hunch it will.
