I don't think the 7 speed is the same 5 speed transmission with two more gears and a new torque converter just because they both have down shift rev match and asc. Also, the 7 speed doesn't require fluid change and weighs a bit more than the 5 speed. I think transmissions get completely redesigned to have better performance, durability, and efficiency, just as cars do. The 5 speed was very slow to shift and the shift time wasn't consistent. I'm guessing this was because the 5 speed wasn't designed from the beginning to shift quickly. The pictures shows two different transmissions. ![]()

And you're also very wrong about the shift times of the 5AT. It was every bit as fast to shift as the current 7AT. How exactly is the shifting below very slow: 350z 0-90 - YouTube Have you ever even owned or driven a 5AT 350Z for more than a few days? Because I owned one. And I've driven 7AT 370Zs tons of times, as well. |
