I need to replace my Engine!! Help Needed.

Bad Boy

How bad can he be? This is my first manual car and I learned pretty fast, the car still runs well.
Although I feel like sometimes the shifts are a little rough or clunky, but that's reported by a lot of 370Z drivers...

Lol ok now I am about 100% sure money shift happened. Let me guess this part needing rebuilt wouldn't happen to be a bunch of valves would it?

They didn't tell me what is wrong with the engine, they said components and that it needed to be reassemble but engines are not rebuilt (according to them). It it not the valves, i can 100% guarantee that. I dont know that the money shift is.

Having said that, I am not going to start arguing about my qualification for driving the car. I started driving stick shift when I was 9 in a blue nissan datsun. I came to the US at the age of 10, didn't drive stick again until i was 19 and that was only for a week. I thought I mastered it so i stopped. I've been driving my Z now for 4 years. Stop acting like an elitist, as if driving stick took some type of special skill. There is a learning curve but overtime it's easy. It becomes second nature.


PS: I never paid out of pocket for the transmission. somebody asked about that i think

You are absolutely delusional if you think you mastered driving a manual in one week.

Before you spout off about how good your driving skills after you killed a clutch, transmission, and engine in less than 90K miles, go find a real driving instructor (like at an HPDE) and see what they think about your skills

Well not sure how he managed a manual trans so low miles but he still hasn't said what happened to the engine so I'm betting he did a money shift.
