Nissan should take notes from Honda on how to get a butter smooth stick shift
It could certainly be smoother, but it's really not that bad.

No offense, but you'd have to be pretty terrible or new to a manual transmissions to get "smoked" by a Camry even with the Z's clunks and wirls. It's got some annoying sounds, but I've never had trouble shifting quickly once I got a feel for when to shift properly with this car. The 1-2 shift is tricky, but that's just about any car with a manual.
