1st to 2nd synchros. It grinds when shifting at high rpms.

Robert_K 03-31-2012 09:48 PM

Trans issues already?

Ron 03-31-2012 10:03 PM

since it was new pretty much

Robert_K 03-31-2012 10:25 PM

But is this an issue just with your's or Z34 community?

Ron 03-31-2012 11:05 PM

Other people in here are having the same problem and got trannys replaced under warranty. Some others have the issue from 4th to 5th. There's a thread somewhere. I actually think Matt's got replaced once already.

Robert_K 03-31-2012 11:35 PM

You think with the Z-car going on 10yrs old and trans problems Nissan had with the early 03's they would've figured this out by now. Good luck! I know the feeling having a broken trans.

theDreamer 04-01-2012 11:43 AM

Yeah I am not sure what is causing the failure, without knowing much I would currently say this might be the "saving" point in the car where Nissan tried to lower cost. Sucks, but at least the dealerships are being helpful in replacing them. Also, my issue has always been 4 to 5. Have found if I shift from 4 to 5 but hold for half a second it does not grind ever but does get annoying to do that all the time.

JB-370z 04-01-2012 01:45 PM

Mine does this going into 2nd, 5th and 6th.

Deadman 04-01-2012 01:50 PM

Ya idunno I ran mine all the way up and into 2nd and went fine . Car only has 6k on it tho so who knows

Robert_K 04-01-2012 09:36 PM

My '03 had a bit of a grind on 4-5 change but went away. And of course never happened with the tech in the car. But than after 30k+ of boosted miles 3rd said; "F you! I'm out!" LOL!!! Better than a rod.

Ron 04-02-2012 04:04 PM

Alright Jason started today. Here are a few not very interesting pics. More tomorrow!

Yes. By all means, if you can, pull the engine. I did mine with it still in the car and I don't reccomend it.

Looking good Ron! Can't wait to see how those new turbos perform.

Ron 04-07-2012 01:04 PM

So Nissan sent the wrong transmission, that delayed things a couple of days. Car should be out mid next week. It's going to be a close call for Nismo Fiesta. Fingers crossed!

I will drop by the dealership in a couple of hours and check progress. If there is anything new I'll post more pics.

Robert_K 04-07-2012 01:13 PM

:facepalm: For Nissan Parts Dept.

blackonorange 04-07-2012 01:59 PM

:worship::shakes head:lol at wrong tranny, why do things never work out?

Ron 04-07-2012 03:57 PM

Just got back. New tranny is mounted and engine is almost ready to back in.
