yes, several times.

There were at least 3 updates during 09, and then at least one late in the '10 run. Supposedly another during the 2011 run as well, but didn't hear about that one from the same source.

It is funny stuff. I am sorry for your troubles. I don't think I like his thinly veiled diaparaging comment about ritual cannibalism though.

I too, seem to have an annoying, noisy box.... My transmission is kinda klunky too!

THANK YOUuuuuuuu, I'll be here all night.

After all the grief I read about when the G37 first came out, I got the 5-AT in my 2008 G37S.

After reading they really weren't a lot better in the Z's, I got the 7-AT. I learned the paddle shifters on the G, and never missed a beat with the Z.

Now most of my friends have the 6-M and never complain, so maybe things have gotten better.

My main reason for getting the 7-AT is that my Z is my daily driver for my Houston commute, but I was a little gun shy of the 6-M.

Lordamercy. My 6mt is notchy going into 2nd sometimes, but never crunchy.

This is awful to hear.

You don't need to back yourself up! Lol, I keep having to. IMO the AT on the 370 is more superior to the MT. And if manual was so great, all supervises and F1 cars and such would still have them

(Not trying to really bash manual, I do miss it sometimes)

F1 transmissions are manual (single clutch, dual layshaft) design with electromechanical actuation. They are nothing like the torque converter, planetary design in the AT.

Yeah, it cracks me up when people compare a paddle shift automatic with a torque converter, like the Z, with an F1 car. I still like a real manual gearbox....even with it's flaws. I drive everyday in Chicago traffic and still would never consider an automatic. Spend a lot of time in neutral though.
