Hello. I had a question about the 370z for you manual owners. I currently have an old 1986 Fiero GT 4 speed. Not super fast but it's a college car.

Arrow Shifting Gears

Hello. I had a question about the 370z for you manual owners. I currently have an old 1986 Fiero GT 4 speed.

Not super fast but it's a college car. I hope soon to get a 370z and was wondering how easy shifting is?

I have had people with new sticks drive my car like they have never used a manual. Everyone says that my car is the hardest thing to drive stick they have ever been in. It is a new clutch, rebuilt transmission and engine so I think it's just the old technology.

I have only ever driven a new car that was a stick once, a 2008 Cayman. I drove the car so badly I wanted to cry. Putting it into any gear seemed to easy. Everything seemed weird.

For example in my car if I am going 40 mph and I try and put it in 1st, the synchros are going to make that nearly impossible. I like that especially when I was first starting out. It basically made it so that you couldn't accidentally down shift to the wrong gear and wreck something.

In a Z what happens if you try and put the car in first? Or are at the top of 3rd gear going to fourth and accidentally go 2nd.

Just driving in general I guess with a new stick compared to something really old.
