The clunky manual transmission is one of the worst aspects of the z34, it really ruined the car for me. I constantly thought it was my driving but every time I jumped into any other manual car I experienced a much smoother experience, hell my friend's 2004 Sti transmission feels light years better than the Z and that transmission is 5 years older than the 2009 model Z!
Sure you can argue that the 7AT is the way to go but not for purists like myself. I can't have the car "drive" for me, there's no better feeling than going from 6th to 3rd and dropping the hammer. OP, you didn't come off whiny in your original post at all, just another frustrated Z34 owner who loves driving stick and finds it ignorant of Nissan to give the Z, an otherwise well balanced sports car, a really crappy transmission.
