transmission assembly replaced???

I tracked down my oem knob. Feels exactly like you describe the new one. My guess is yours got worn down with use.

So I took my car to independent garage and had the owner test the shifting and he said it is not normal. He referred me to another Nissan Dealer who he has worked with in the past. I went there this morning met with the service manager / shop forman had him sit in my car and test the shifting he agreed with me that its not right.

He took the car and 45 minutes later he came out and we went for a drive, the car shifts perfectly now!!!!

There is no resistance on 5/6th any more and I also find that 1st and 2nd are smoother now also!!!

He said that the guide plate was not aligned properly, and also couldn't believe that my dealer would not repair it correctly.

So now I am left with some cosmetic damage on my console and all my wasted time back and forth to the original dealer. I think I am going to send them a registered letter giving them the chance to pay for their damages and incompetence and if they refuse then I will file claim in smalls claims court.

Glad to hear it's fixed now. Go after the first dealer for all the wasted time, damage and BS they put you through.

Just for future reference and anyone who checks this is in the future, you can also just go drive a new Z and since its new, the positioning of everything should be spot on.

Seems that in my area the dealers don't have the manual transmissions in stock, that was the problem. If the original dealer had one then that is what I would have done right away.

Good news is I got a call this afternoon from someone at corporate, apparently my case has been escalated to upper management and she is now investigating what happened at the dealer and asked me to fax her all documentation that I have.

Just found out that the lady who called me yesterday is a executive assistant to Nissan Canada President: Christian Meunier

So I am hopeful now that she will investigate and this can all be resolved.

I think that means someone's *** is about to be thoroughly kicked.
