Transmission failure

1slow370 · 10-22-2009, 05:22 AM

not my first manual, not my first z, but it was the first time i've ever heard those noise coming from MY car and it's new so fail. For referance my plymouth neon shifts better than this car. Even with a new transmision oh and there's over 150,000 on that neon's original gearbox. Is a quaife sequential streetable and does it have synchro's or just dog engagement?

A Transmission issue at 4 to 6 K points directly at driver attitude.

Ever hear of the snap ring issue with the NSX transmission? It could be something as simple as a tolerance stacking issue. I suspect NISSAN will be working on this.

Shifting into 6th seems more firm than the other gears for sure. I attest this to the fact that it's underused in comparison, but from the looks of things here I'll start keeping an eye on it.

It's never scratched or grinded, but there have been times where I go to "throw" it into 6th like I'm used to doing on other cars, and I just bounce into neutral. Seems to me that this gearbox has a "bump" to go through to get into each of the gears and 6th is just a little larger/less worn bump.
