The transmission is very similar to the CD009 tranny from the 350z. Not sure how that correlates to the G35.

The gearbox on the 370 is pretty "mechanical" feeling, but it's bulletproof in regard to holding power.

Of course, the clutch system leaves a little to be desired.

As a guy who has owned a 370 for about a month myself, I had alot of problems with 2nd gear as well. I bring 1st to about 3.5-4k now. Problem solved. Our car does not like low RPM in any gear, but especially 2nd. Rev that sucker up.
