In some of your earliest post, you've mentioned that Z was your first car (or first sports car), you learned driving manual in it, that you adopted the "just think nothing but to drive and shift fast" driving style...among other lessons.

Not trying to embarrass you. To give any advice, it's important to know the root cause. If it was a lemon car, we would say get rid of it. Knowing your history, I would say if your driving and understanding of your car has improved, and still love your Z, find a reputable shop to fix it and enjoy it for many years to come.

Hahaha ohh my younger version, so much hope for this car. I will take responsibility for the Clutch, but not the tranny. I've learned quite a lot of (i think) over this experiences. When i was talking to the Nissan Mechanic, he said it was something inside the tranny that just gave out. He claimed, "I've seen a few situations like this".

The engine, like WTF could I have done? Do I go fast? YES, I DO. Who can admit they don't. Have I adopted a bad technique to drive? Maybe in my early years, but i driven with countless people driven the car to Yellowstone and Vegas, my driving is fine. I'll admit in the early stages it was different, but I'll sit down with anyone here and prove my self lol.

Nissan has escalated my problem and a regional specialist will contact me tomorrow. It has not come up in our conversation, but my car turned 7 years old in April, when it was first purchased. I guess we'll see.

Regardless, if they choose not to help me I will have to receive some legal advice. I am not paying 11k for an engine, when the car has already cost me more than 35k.

They told me there is some internal components in the engine that need to be rebuild, but that because it is too heavy in labor no one really rebuilds engines and I should replace it.
