TopGear 370Z Review: "This Could be THE car of 2009" 03.10.09

tvfreakazoid

Nice article. So i was wondering if anyone else were having the same "vibration problems when shifting gears really hard. And above 5k rpm does it get really rough and transmits nasty vibes back to the transmission". I para phrased what the guy said in the article. Just wondering if this issue has been fixed. Or has anyone drove this car this hard yet.

All Zs I have driven had vibration on the shifter in higher RPM. 370Z isn't any different either. It doesn't bother me at all because it's not like I'm resting my hand on the shifter all the time. But, when you compare to other cars in it's class, then this vibration may take some points off in a review.

It's just the way that the Nissan transmissions and shift linkages are designed. On a lot of cars you have the shifter isolated from the transmission and connected by cables or rods. On these transmissions the connection is very much direct. You'll feel it a lot more in the low gears, especially 1st and 2nd and then it gets a little better in the higher gears. I don't really see it as a problem, just a personality trait of the car.
