Just bought a new 370Z Base, gun metallic color. I love this car but noticed shifting from first to second is a bit rough, is this common in new Z's?

New 2014 370Z
Just bought a new 370Z Base, gun metallic color. I love this car but noticed shifting from first to second is a bit rough, is this common in new Z's? My first planned mods are an oil cooler, oil filter mag and magnetic oil pan screw. Any other suggestions to keep my Z in mint condition for racing track once in a while?

 Try upping the RPMs a bit when you shift from 1-2 and see if that helps. Check out the track section to see if Cali guys are needing an aftermarket oil cooler or if the factory one will be OK. |

Welcome. I found the gear shift to get much smoother after a few thousand miles but 1-2 shifts, particularly when hammer down, require concentration.

I forgot where but someone mentioned when you shift (n-1, 1-2 and sometimes 2-3) if you're not revving hard (over 5krpm) shift according to revs. Under 3k I clutch in, shift, pause, and then slow release to catch... found that smoothed out the shifting considerably. Just play around!
good luck and welcome! |
