Finally test drove the 370z 6MT...

Lol I test drove a used 370 last week. Unfortunately to say... it had the 5th gear grind issue just like the 350/G35. It wasn't a problem when I shifted slow into 5th, but IF i were to shift anywhere from slightly fast to fast, I'd hear a slight grind. All the other gears were butter smooth tho.

But anyhow, I thought Nissan would have fixed this by now?

I was starting to get the 5th gear grind when I traded mine in, not on the upshift, but downshifting from 6th at highway speeds made me cringe.

werd, neither my G35C nor my 370Z grinds in 5th or any gear for that matter...
