almost bought a 370z today

Yeah, it does wiggle a bit on the first inch or so of travel with the spring gone. Not really a big deal at all.

Yeah, I would say a little bit of play for maybe the first half inch of travel. It feels exactly like my S2000 did in that regard... bit of play up top, but great feel.

WORST 6mt in the business

Stock, yes. Helper spring removed... no.

Far from the worst. It's just clunky. It holds power just fine. The clutch feel is easily fixed. And I thought we all had an agreement about quoting JungleTard.

Baradar-e man.
We know you hate the car, hate the transmission, hate Nissan, and how you wish you had bought something else, no need to jump in on EVERY thread and mention how shìt your car is... Know that YOU leased your car. It IS a lease, so you will leave it. And you can lease it out on lease trader and such.
It's why you get responses like:

And as much as you're a member of the clan, I am starting to agree

Yep. Most MTs capable of handling some power are clunky to some degree.

Once you remove the helper spring the 6MT feels nice and is on par with all of the other manual transmissions in similarly priced sports cars.

I would love to drive a z with this helper spring removed. All I know is after driving integras preludes m3"s s2000. This manual is so sloppy . Will a heavier shift knob help any?

No, just pull the helper spring. It's a simple DIY job.

Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

You've bitched and moaned this long and you haven't even TRIED taking the spring out? It makes it 1000000000 times better to drive.
And yes, a heavier knob will make shifts smoother, that's why a lot opt for the TK one, or you can get an equally weighted knock off

The world according to "JUNGLEZ"

Honda has a penis, Nissan has a vagina!!! Ahhhhhahahaha

Chuck33079 · 06-25-2013, 09:18 AM

I'd rather have a clunky transmission that can take some power and abuse than a silky smooth one that explodes when you give it more power than stock.

jburke26 · 06-25-2013, 09:59 AM

Remove that spring ASAP! The clutch pedal will have some play to it near the top but you will get used to it. MUCH BETTER IMO.
