Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone swapped in a lower-ratio 6th gear yet?

Really. That's a department I lack in.

I mean, I've never had to do it on a Z, but a good friend of mine and I could replace 2nd on my S2k and have it running again in 3.5 hours pretty consistently.

It's easy. The hardest part is just accessing what you need to get to in order to do the work.

Most all work on cars is easy once you think it out. If you understand how a system works and think everything through, and take your time, it shouldn't be too difficult to perform most any work on an engine/transmission. The difficulty is just access, specialty tools, and finding the balls to rip into something that might cost $5k to replace if you break it.
