So high RPM shifting isn't really bad for the synchros so long as they are executed with care by not slamming the gear and fast shifting and basically just easing into next gear. I searched about this online and it seems really only 3 things are bad for synchros:
- Skip shifting - Fast shifting - Hard shifting The fact that the 4th to 5th up shift remains smooth even at high RPMs probably means I didn't do too much damage or caused any major addtl wear |
Firmly move the shifter into the next gear, but do not rush or force it. Even when I drive fast, I still shift smoothly and don't try to rush the shifts, and I do not powershift. I leave that crap to the drag racers on Youtube.

Im pretty paranoid about this especially cause its hard to source replacement syncros. I shift slow (just hold it at the gate and wait for it to fall in) on upshifts, and on most downshifts I let SRM help me to do a double clutch downshift. I have to double clutch my little ford ranger with 255k miles or it wont go into gear and big rigs for work....so I get a LOT of practice.

I wish i could source out synchros also.... my G is currently stuck in 5th gear awaiting the replacement transmission.... this sucks...

Pretty sure Z1 sells new 6MTs for under $2K. If bearings and synchros cost $1K plus rebuild labor, there's no question in my mind that a whole new transmission is the better option.
And yes, there is a brand new 6MT posted up for $1500 local pick up in the FS section (I believe local is CA). |

I think it's a little cheaper than that since he has a G and its not rev matching. The G tranny is slightly cheaper since it doesn't rev match. |

Sounds about right. I looked into it before I turboed the car just to see worse case what it would cost if it failed. |

Re-use those sensors from your existing transmission on a new one. |

FSM should tell you if there are any differences.
My guess is that there is no difference. |

There does appear to be two different manual transmission part numbers. 320B0-1EA0B for Nismo and sport package models and 320B0-1EA0A for base models. Still no price difference at multiple websites. Found them as low as $1621. |
