I've seen quite a few posts about trans problems over the last number of months that I've been a part of the community. I figured that if I encouraged discussion there too, perhaps it would get some kind of response from someone who had either built a stronger solution, or could point me in the right direction for upgrade kits, or perhaps at least someone I could shop mine to for some modifications since mine is still shifting well and not grinding yet. I've owned 3 of these now, one of which had a new trans put in under warranty. Both the others shifted so much faster than mine is now. Neither of those were boosted though. I didn't warranty this one because an adjuster.would tell me to **** right off as soon as they looked under the car or under the hood. I still don't like the idea of buying a whole new trans to fix a few parts that are wearing... but it seems like it's our only recourse.

The thing is there's an opportunity for someone to make a lot of money making a durable trans or by putting together an upgrade kit for this car... people love boosting them, tracking them, and drifting them. If I was a trained transmission mechanic I'd jump at a chance to start up a company. I really don't think success is "pie in the sky" on this. There is a market for this... it's just waiting for someone to jump on it.

There are solutions, it is just that they are expensive.

The cost to open the trans to replace parts when aligned o the cost of a replacement OEM unit does not add up.

When I toasted my 5th gear synchro I looked into some of these upgrades to the transmission. Essentially it was working out to 2-2.5 times the cost of a new transmission. For a boosted Z which frequents a drag strip this might be viable, but how many of those are out there? Based on the people here there are very few mentions of broken transmission even for the boosted group.

I've owned 3 370Z's now, and 2 had synchro issues, the other 2 I had were NA. it seems a boosted Z is going to tear up synchros, it's just a matter of time... and faster than NA. I appreciate that someone posted links on options, because the way I see it, I'm never selling this car... so I should look into a stronger trans before I've replaced multiple transmissions and regret not doing it to begin with.

Maybe this would help? Not MT unfortunately, though...

Looks like he doesn't, and if he does, the shipping cost will be fantastic :rolleyes:

LOL, 3rd gear is the hardest pulling gear for most cars. This guy has broken several.

Most of his races are roll races and he flat foot shifts 3rd and 4th.

That would be why he keeps ripping apart 3rd if he flat foot shifts.
