Well, I haven't driven a GM 6mt, so i can't directly compare them, but I did spiritedly test drive an 07 mustang gt 5sp and that trans was much rougher, clunkier, whatever you want to call it than ours is.

also, I almost hate to say this, but I can't help but feel some of the bitching and complaining about our manual trans has to do at least partly, with folks that are either new to driving stick and/or just can't drive a manual well. (with the exception of folks that have had csc issues, that, imo, is the only real potential issue with our trans, and then again, there's folks on here, us included, that have plenty of track time & mileage with 0 issues)

I have driven several 370z manual cars. The transmission felt fine. I'm worried about durability, not initial quality. Did Nissan do anything about the failing csc or is the 09 unit the same as the 12 unit?
