- - 5th gear "crunching" with shift (http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivetrain/12788-5th-gear-crunching-shift.html)

After hammering it a bit on the track yesterday I'm grinding hard into 5th. Dealer is going to swap it no questions asked (in warranty). I drive an 09 with 42k miles. (I have a Nissan certified pre owned warranty that takes me out to 100k in drive-train:tup:)

I can't wait to drive my new tranny Friday:excited:

I'm disappointed that I have to swap trannys at 42k, but the previous owner seemed to be a pretty poor driver (by condition of gearbox and clutch)

Now I will have a new gearbox to go with my JWT clutch/flywheel and my Quaife diff. now that I think about it, I have pretty much a completely new drive-train the only un-swapped element is the right stub axle and my carbon drive-shaft.

about 10,000 miles on it. I'm starting to notice with clean shifts, crunching/grinding when
shifting to 5th gear. Anyone experiencing this? Gotten it fixed?

I now have a 2013 transmission in my 2010, after 2 replacements.
I think it funny that they seem to have fixed a problem that they said never existed..

How nice, I'm not the only one having this issue...just grinding from 4th to 5th.

Can anyone tel me if having an RJM clutch pedal installed will void my warranty as far as the tranny goes?

took her in Saturday, they confirmed bad syncro, new tranny on the way!!!

Even better, I still have a year and 60K mi on my warranty:happydance:

Hope you enjoy you're new tranny... Don't blow it tho

My car has had funny syncros since day one. 2013 370z Base.
5th gear and 6th gear now.
Took it in to Surfcity Nissan, tech says OMG grinds bad. Got a call saying from the Service MGR that all is good and that the tech did not find anything. Lies. I just went in and got my car and left in a hurry. Didnt pay nothing. They state the spring in the clutch is bad. LOL
I put on 7600 miles a year and can drive better then 99% out there.

Called customer relations at Nissan made another appointment at Tustin Nissan. And OMG what a difference. Walked it late at 1PM told them the problems, got a tech to go with be right away he agreed. Got a rental that day. Got a call 8AM next day states new transmission on its way. Clutch only 50% gone. All covered. Great guys.

After suing and winning 2 cases at 2 different dealerships Costa Mesa Nissan and Imperio Nissan for damage to both of my cars for different things it was great for this dealership to take pride in the name Nissan. As we all know there all crooks. .....
