5th gear "crunching" with shift

Auston · 12-31-2009, 10:22 AM

Took the car in this morning.

The technician rode with me and reproduced the problem two times.

The first time he said he felt it a little bit and thought I could be "shifting
past the gate". The second time, he really felt it grind and said he would
contact Nissan to see how they want to handle the situation. The dealership is
suppose to call me back after they contact Nissan.

The interesting thing was the technician was initially shifting in two motions (the shifter
was first slowly shifted into the middle position, then to the gate). I commented
that I shift in a single motion. It wasn't until after he started shifting in a single
motion that the problem was reproduced.
