1st gear noise

boosted180 · 07-08-2009, 12:58 PM

most people are talking about the noise. but the thing that bugs me most is actually the *feel* that something's shaking and moving around underneath the car. it's the feel of "slop" and "free-play" and "jerkiness" somewhere in the driveline when the clutch is engaged and disengaged, and even while in gear. (esp. when you're driving slowly).

i guess i'll try to just ignore it since from what everyone's saying, it's probably "natural" for this car. but it sure is annoying...

well my car is at the dealer right now. Will be until Monday when a nissan engineer will be sent out from "hq". All the techs heard the noise, but no one knows what it is. They drove 2 other 370s on the lot; both didn't click and pop like mine does.

I'll keep everyone updated. As of now, nissan is covering a loaner for me and everything.
