Dealer says "grinding into second is not abnormal"
 

Ok so heres one that you guys will like. i brought my car in for a bunch of things bc is died from a miss reading fuel gauge.. but thats another thread... so i ask him to look into the car grinding into second when i beat on it.. I call him and he says everything on the car is normal. so i ask him what about the grinding into second gear. His word "Oo, when driving the car a little hard is is not abnormal for it to crunch a litte" i asked this man 3 times the same question are you sureeee thats normal. and he said yes all three times.

My quesion to you guys is.. IS THIS GUY KIDDING ME!?!? ive never heard of a grind in a trani being "normal".. someone please correct me if im wrong and pleaseeee give me a reason and a respecable sorce for this info bc ive never heard this being normal... and this isnt power shifting into second its just a hard shift into second with the clutch to the ground.

Yeah....back in the decades when there were no synchros. Have they passed new marijuana laws in NY? Your dealer is smoking it.

i have no idea what they are smoking. I want to make sure that the tech actually drove the car and it wasnt the service writer.

Tech probably thought it was an automatic, and drove it that way.

Yeah, it is NOT normal to grind. Unless, of course, you don't have the clutch fully engaged (?).

Or you have issues with your synchros. If the clutch is not full engaging or disengaging, that could be causing the synchros to complain as well.

It is not normal. They replaced the transmission in my 2003 350z for that very reason.

sounds like tech thinks you don't know how to drive a stick & trying to bs his way out of fixing the problem for you.

Not normal.

Did you ride in the car with the tech?

It's Nissan. They told me rattles are normal because I have a sports car

It's only normal if you don't use your clutch. Your dealer is on crack.

I didnt get a chance bc i dropped it off after the techs left and picked it up after the tech that wrkn on my car left... The service writer told me that they cant beat on the car... which is total bs because when i worked at dealers and someone came in with a complaint about the car having problems under hard accel we would beat the snot out of the car and try to fix it.... im going back to the dealer one day and gona ask the tech what he did.

what dealer is this?
