transmission shudder in manual 2013

rfp3 · 07-10-2013, 02:48 PM

My 2013 manual 6 speed 370Z has a shudder heard when shifting out of 1st or 2nd gear when slowing down on an incline. I've never experienced this before on any other manual transmssion that I've owned. Has anyone else experienced.this?

at wat rpm?

If you shifting in and out in the lower rpm range it's normal. Manual transmission is manufactured with the noise.

I burnt the **** out of my clutch one night and it felt like it was shuttering or slipping for about a day. But it was back to normal in no time. You done any clutch dumps or burning of the clutch?

Lower rpm's, coasting to a stop but with some stress on the transmission since it's uphill.

Give it gas. This car likes the juice.

Mine does it all the time leaving work - we have to exit down an incline from our garage and it happens if I don't throw it in neutral before I go down.

Perfectly normal, perfectly healthy.

Wow never knew this. I've owned my '13 for over 10 months now and whenever I leave home or my work parking lot, I have to go on short downhill inclines. Never thought about it before, but I always put the Z in neutral.

Don't think I going to try this to find out

This is all normal. 350 did it and to no surprise, so does the 370.
