We started with a brand new OEM gear box. That is what will go in for the next race... And will then be swapped after 4 1/2 races.
We are able to get warrantied boxes that have been sent in for gear noise or synchro issues..
They usually get sent in...inspected ..new synchros ..and then we get to use them.
One mans garbage is a another's gold!

This was our first issue at all on the gearbox and it happened pretty quick.

$30,000 try $45,000 out the door loaded and you're right it's a sports car, my wife's 1996 328i with 160,000 has no issues, mine with 55,000 is going in for it's 3rd tranny replacement,,, ?????

Print out the forum bring it to them my dealer told me the same thing that they have NEVER seen this problem before,, to bad their trannys are junk cause I really like the car

My second gear has been doing that since the beginning. I have scratched it about 10 times already. I haven't taken it in because I don't think I can replicate it without shifting hard like Im racing which is usually when it happens.

My fifth gear does this too! Annoying as hell. It seems to only do it if i skip fourth though, like i hammer it in second or third, and get lazy and put it right in fifth

56,000, on my 3rd Tranny, all failed in the 5th gear synchros,,, the last one Nissan built as a prototype, so we will see what happens. This one goes bad they will be getting the car back. Thank God I bought the extended warranty!
Funny when I talk to the dealer they tell me they have never heard of this issue,, they must be politcians,, deny deny deny,, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"........

Well, it finally got bad enough where they can order me a new transmission. Currently at 43k miles. We looked at the option to replace the clutch while they're at it...they said parts for just the clutch comes out to $1,600....I was like Anyway, at least they're replacing the transmission under warranty.
