i first noticed it around 12k, but I'm only having the problem when I downshift to 5th, anyone else experiencing this? no problems upshifting, just when I downshift from 6th.

I have the exact same problem. I have to go from 6th to 5th VERY slow to not grind.

Just took my car in for maintenance, I'll be getting a new transmission

I think mine is starting to get a little crunchy when I downshift from 6th to 5th, stupid Nissan tranny. I wonder how much money Nissan is losing due to these replacements.

You guys are making me nervous. Anyone with 2010's get this problem?????

LOL this forum is making me nervous also. Between the oil consumption, now trannys grinding. I just bought a twin turbo kit and if I have any of these issues I am going to be screwed since Nissan is going to blame everything on that.

Although I do have the hatch problem I have to hold it down a little bit after I hit the button once to get it to open

I bought the GTM stage 2, also getting the hks exhaust and the gtm oil cooler. I am kind of following stormcrow's build since I was very pleased on the results that he obtained. Also there was a few people that recomended his build and said it should be safe and reliable.

Could you post a link (manufacturer, or article)?

Update: I took my car in for diagnosis last week and they said that it needs a new tranny. Got called this past Wednesday and was told my new transmission is in town and I am to bring my car in this next Wednesday for them to replace it. Woo!

Update: Picked my car up last Friday from the local dealer with a brand new transmission. I haven't been able to drive it much, but in the 40 miles or so of having it I have noticed that is shifts very smoothly. Here's hoping that it stays that way

I'm 3,00 miles+ into the new transmission and it's still doing awesome (new
transmission at 11,485 miles)
