Transmission Issues Resolved?

Skeeterbop · 12-08-2011, 07:35 PM

I've put 14.4k miles on my 2011 with nothing out of the ordinary happening with my transmission. If I keep this car long enough for the synchro's to wear out on me (which i hope to do), I was thinking of using dog rings instead (can't recall exactly what it is called but i believe that is right). Maybe get a sequential tranny?? I dunno, it will be a ways off so it depends on cash flow at that point of my life.

I would not even consider streeting a dogbox in a 370

I had an 09 model. Now I have an 11. And I will have to admit the the true soul of the Z is in the 09. The 11 suspension, new resonators (at least they seem new because the Z's tone is quieter) and sound damping have toned the car down for the worse in my opinion. Not saying the 11 Z is bad. Its still an amazing machine. Its just no 09.

iboth were autos so no clunk. Transmission performance has not changed.
