They need to do a little more than a free oil change IMO

I agree, but they keep giving me the same story that each dealer is independently owned and they can't do anything.

Mention to the dealer that if they do right by you, you'll post positive reviews on sites such as dealerratings.com and other dealer review sites. That might motivate them to do more for you. Also mention that you'll respond with positive marks to any surveys received.

I don't think they care about reviews, I have documented everything and going to sue the dealer in small claims court. As 5th gear is still not 100% the way it should be, and Nissan Canada is not doing anything at all to help me resolve this.

Does anyone have a link or a picture of the OEM shifter knob for a 2010 40th car? I think they might have installed the wrong one when they replaced mine.

It looks like smooth leather in that photo

But they one they installed on mine feels more like rubber ?

Here is the what they installed in mine, does it look like the right knob for 40th 370z ?

Just took these of mine in the parking lot at work. Definitely smoother leather and does not feel like rubber. Almost matches the texture of the shift boot.

Can't really tell by your picture, but I do not believe that the 40th are any different than any other 370.

Chuck33079 06-19-2013 01:44 PM

Is it possible that the knob you had was just worn smooth compared to the newer knob?

Cmike2780 06-19-2013 01:53 PM

It's the same knob for all models. Maybe it's from a '13, but that knob looks right to me.

Sharkedd 06-19-2013 02:06 PM

I could see it maybe be smoother because its worn down, but the actual material feels different seems much more rubbery to me.

Chuck33079 06-19-2013 02:10 PM

That's odd. It's been so long since I had my OEM knob on I barely remember what it was like. I'll look tonight. It came off the day I bought the car, so it's still new.

When I had my CSC replaced they broke the shift knob and had to put a new one on. It looked like that, almost "puffy" looking.

Then after a couple months it was shiny again. I assume the hand oils and skin contact slowly buff it to a shine.

Sharkedd 06-20-2013 07:51 AM

I found two other 370Z 40th's for sale not far from me, I am going today to check them out to compare how 5th gear feels when shifting and also look at the shifter knobs.
