Possible Nissan OEM clutch system issue - Everyone Read

Perfourmance

yes, the s2k has, eeeer had (), an unbelievable gearbox. You had to be careful shifting quickly and aggressively from 1st to 2nd in the AP1 (9k rpm limiter)...it was slightly remedied in the 2.2 liter (AP2) with a reduction in limiter and different synchros.

so now i've gotten: 1) notchy gearbox with lurch, judder, and resistance to downshit 2) oil temp issues with "spirited driving" and now 3) "bogging" at low rpm with the car up to op temp

Evo X <--> 370Z !?

granted, the EVO has issues of its own...the MR TC-SST only handles ~300 tq and can't be worked on, yet, by Mitsu. The GSR (5 speed) apparently has a pin breakage issue within the trans...not to mention those guys (evolutionm) have a 51 page thread about the notchiness of the 5 speed; go figure!?

bottom line, picking apart every car's weakness isnt going to get me anywhere and basing a purchase decision on a couple bad apples is heinous. i just hate to hear that this experience has ruined the car for some of you guys.
