2nd gear has always been an issue coming from an '03 350Z. I couldn't get into 2nd when accelerating or launching hard (felt like a newb). Once the revs went down, then I was able to get into 2nd. A few years later the transmission started to grind consistently in 2nd and 3rd, so it was replaced in '06. Things were great for a few months, and then things started to get notchy again. It became one really loud transmission... clunky and embarrassing.

What I learned with the Z is to be a bit more patient when shifting at low speeds. I've had my 370Z for a year with 10k miles, and the transmission is much more pleasant than the two I had in my 350Z. It still gets notchy at times, but nothing compared to the old car.
