Well when I do this my transmission grinds really bad. One dealer says "Well yeah, because you're not supposed to do that". They are refusing to go any further with it.
I have called another dealer and explained what is happening and they agree with me that while it may not be the norm to skip it should not grind.

I have been driving manual transmission cars for 20 years and have never had a problem doing this.

I am out of town so a friend is going to pick up my car and bring it to the other dealer.

The service manager tried to tell me that the 370z transmission is a whole different animal because of the syncro-rev match.
