5th gear "crunching" with shift

Blue Z34 · 12-03-2012, 09:35 PM

I drive my Z hard any time I feel the urge...that's why I bought it. It's a sports car. Not saying I thrash it everyday or anything..I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in over a year

(knock on wood)

I'd say I drive with synchrorev on about 80-85 percent of the time. The exhaust pops gloriously on the downshifts to stoplights. And seeing as how this thread is eleven pages long it might be a stretch to say "most don't have issues" ..I'd say this is kind of a big deal.

Also interesting to know gears 1-4 have more robust synchros..curious to know how you found this out? Either way..that might help explain why it's been the upper gears with the problems.
