Who makes our Transmission

WRX, STi, and Scion TC also smoother than the 370Z for me. This is the clunkiest most grinding trans (I have the 5th gear grind) I have ever driven.

If I don't shift very slowly from 6th to 5th, it grinds. Every other shift is fine. I see you posted in the "5th gear grind" thread.

Ain't it funny, somebody complaining about "THE 5th gear grind" as if it's normal? Couldn't be abuse. Naaaaaah.

I have a hard time seeing a 5th or 6th gear grind coming from abuse. Unless I am an oddity or smoking crack most of the abuse happens in the lower gears, 1,2,3..sometimes 4...
