Problem

jcr370 · 05-15-2011, 12:32 PM

Dont know if this is the right section, but I have a 2010 automatic 370z. I took her on the highway and i got on her a little bit. I was accelerating hard on the freeway, and i hear a loud Crack and POP and the car starts jerking. I pulll over to see the damage. Everything looks fine, engine turns on, but when i try to shift into Drive, Neutral, or Reverse, it makes loud grinding noises and wont move at all. anybody know what the damage could be? thanks in advance

Do you have any idea how much this cost to replace, and do you know if my car will still be covered under waranty, if i have full bolt ons?

The tranny is a sealed unit and mods didn't contribute to its failure. So their are no warranty issue here. IMO

Depends on how long the dealer gets it. I'm pretty sure they don't stock in on premises.

A replacement 7AT is almost $5K installed. I hope for your sake that they warranty it.

is there any way they could tell that driving spiritedly caused the failure and void the warranty?

There is nothing in the warranty policy that forbids spirited driving. Provided that the transmission wasn't abused in some way it should be ok.

the car is advertised to go over 150 mph and 0-60 un under 5 seconds so if Nissan voids the warranty for driving as advertised they have a lot a explaining to do to everyone who bought a Z.

do 370's have transmission problems like the GTR's. Because my car is relatively new and it seems like the tranny shouldnt have problems like this from accelerating hard a couple of times.
