yes it does. Not only reduce the wear and tear on the clutch and transmission, it also reduce the stress on the rest of the driven train and suspension. Just imagine someone drops down one gear or two at high rpm without any throttle, that engine braking (jerk) puts stress on the whole driven train and suspension.

i'm no expert but to my way of thinking by correctly matching the revs of the engine and transmission shouldn't it reduce wear and tear on the transmission?

The SRM is a non-issue in the Z. ;) Ask the guys who track. D

Doesn't the guy in Canadia at 300k miles have manual?

Or 300k k... Not sure

Its km...I believe its manual.

90ST? Yes he drives a MT.

Appreciate everyone's opinion!

Currently looking for a 2013-2014 Nismo preferably in white. There seem to be some pretty decent Nissan CPO Nismos on the market

Hey guys,

I currently have a 07 350z 6mt and I am looking for another car. It's currently between the e92 M3 and the NISMO 370z (2013+). Reliability is a huge concern for me and I wanted to know how robust the synchrorev transmission is. I'm not one for advanced technology in my cars because I feel there's more that can break. The synchrorev transmission is perhaps the only negative thing I associate with the 370Z, though I know it can be turned on/off.

Since there's a good amount of computer input in this transmission, I just wanted to know how reliable it is. Is there anyone here with a 6mt that has racked on a lot of miles and not had a single issue with the transmission? Am I overthinking the complexity of this transmission?

I'm not worried about the engine at all. I know these HR engines are awesome. My 2007 Z with the HR engine has 100k miles and has never burned a drop of oil or has dropped in performance. It's just the synchrorev transmission that strikes me as an item that's more prone to fail since it's heavier on the electronic end. I could be wrong. If I am, let me know.

Thanks!

The 350z is a rock, I mean you can't kill that thing, in my opinion far more reliable than the 370z. Wonderful car however and far more advanced than the 350z in every way.

Several threads discuss BMW vs. 370z; unless you have some kick a55 warranty and extra money for maintenance, the M3 is not a car I would recommend for you. The quality and performance of the M3 are superb, no doubt, but it is a Sports Coupe not a Sports Car, and again the cost of maintenance is pretty crazy if you plan on keeping up with the car's maintenance properly.
