370z manual grind?

/\ the best you're going to info you're going to get durability wise, is folks with around 30-40K miles reporting no issues, like a couple of the posts above. Just not enough time has passed and these cars tend to not get driven more than 10K per year on average. Afaik, the csc is identical thru all model years of the Z.

/\ we will have to agree to disagree on this one Red. But then again, I had big problems with the FA5 trans and you didn't, and I have no problems with the Z trans, and you did...

Hi Folks,
I'll cut to the chase. My 370z started grinding going into 6th at about 6,000 miles. I have been to the dealer and I am beginning discussions with Nissan.

About me: I have had many manual transmissions in my life (4, 5, 6 speed) virtually every American manufacturer, some foreign. I have never rebuilt one regardless of miles. I have only replaced two (2) clutches in my life on real old cars with unknown miles. I do DRIVE my cars and do not remember gear grinds except on missed shifts.

I have read other posts regarding gear grinding in 2009 350zs. What's the deal?

Sincerely,
Legone370z

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to figure this car out. I'm interested in your driving habits.

1) Do you treat the Nissan 3*0z manual gearbox any different than any other car you have owned (could include motorcycles)?

2) Do you skip gears shifting up or down?

3) If you skip gears how often?

4) If you skip gears which one(s) most often?

5) Does your gearbox ever grind (assuming you clutched)?

Thanks,
