dreaded 6th gear grind....

edub370 · 06-30-2012, 09:11 AM

so the last couple times i have driven my car i have had it grind multiple times going into 6th with the clutch fully (yes i made sure) depressed. from everything i read online this points to a syncro going out and a trans replacement

(hoping not)

i am the 3rd owner of my 09, but the car only has 20k on it. should a nissan dealership be giving me any crap by not covering this under the standard 3 year 36,000 warranty because i am not the original owner? going into the dealership at 1 and need to know exactly what im getting into.

again, keeping in mind that since this is an 09 with 20k, i am still within the 3 year 36k vehicle warranty (i think?)

anyone who has had to deal with similar issues that has any advice would be greatly appreciated

(ALSO, my car is dyno tuned. should i get this tune taken off before i run the car into the dealership?)
