red6spd · 05-16-2010, 06:46 PM

What up guys, I was wondering who makes the MT transmission for the 370. Is it in house by Nissan or an out side company????? Thanks guys.

I 2nd that it is damn clunky. Coming from driving a Mustang and an s2000 often, the Nissan gearbox is the worst I've seen. It scares the hell out of me sometimes, I do a double take on if it was a clunk or a grind, thankfully it's just a clunk. I'm going to try to change the tranny fluid in the near future and see if that helps.

This transmission is OK but it's not the best direct input transmission out there. The Tremecs in the late model Mustangs are freaking nice... wish ours were more like that.

Tremecs are the best out there.

The clunky transmission has always been a complaint. My Altima had a really noisy clunky tranny. But it was a great tranny. Very precise. So big deal its a little noisy.

Push the clutch in ALL the way and 2nd engages like a rocket... just have to learn to drive with different gearboxes...

Yeah it's not the rifle bolt slick is it? It feels like it won't break but...
