Stopped at a tint shop yesterday to check out the 3M Crystalline tint for my Z. It's expensive, but I think saving the interior and the heat rejection will make it worth the money so I'll stop today and leave a deposit for the install.

I've been considering one of these since I got my Z.

Took it back to the dealership for some work. Last week did all the fluids hoping it would fix my transmission issue.
Still grinding going from any lower gear (2/3) to a higher gear (5/6). Going up the tree has no issues, just skipping 2 gears rapidly causes a harsh grind on the transmission (guessing syncros, but I'm not a professional). Grrrr... at 30300 miles now, expected to be over 36K in ~3 months. Didn't get a Juke, got a rental Sentra as the courtesy cars were all out.

So for a 2 to 5 shift... Clutch in Shifter to 3rd, shifter to 4th shifter to 5th clutch out That said, hopefully they can get it working like you want it to! Edit: Here's a tip, give the transmission's input shaft longer to spin down before trying to put it into the higher gear. That'll take the strain off of the synchros. |

If you look at the blade, it doesn't run the entire length of the side skirt. Depending on where you place it, the gap can be either on the front end or back end.

Coming onto a freeway, getting up to 55-60 in 2nd, then climbing every gear :3rd, 4th, 5th, to OD would slow me back down to 40-45 and I would end up downshifting again to get back to freeway speeds. I'm hearing you say, "Oy! Don't accelerate hard in your sportscar (HA HA RACE CAR). You'll have to downshift after touching each gear to safely get to overdrive because all that speed you gained was just wasted while you're fiddling around with all the gears your car has in it." 18 vehicles owned, 9 manual cars/trucks. I've seen this only when sychros are crushed (1 car and 1 truck) or the throwout bearings was literally coming apart or an arm broke off(2 cars). I do trust your judgement, however I cannot imagine grinding from 3rd to 5th is acceptable. If I had video with sound, I'm certain you would agree it's not right.

Thanks. Me too. I'm just all 'stabby' right now with the Z in the shop.
