I am going back and forth about getting a auto or 6mt g35. What I am worried about is I currently own a maxima and after about 350-400fwtq they are know to break 3rd gear at any time. I have broken 2nd gear n/a and a buddy has broken 3rd along with a few other friends. I was wondering just how common is this problem with the 350z/g35 crowd or do you guys just break the whole tranny. I've done that too

 

auto trannies r good til bout 400-450hp.. few at 500 still going but they have valve body upgrades and maybe other stuff... the newer 6 spds can handle whatever with the right clutch.. im no expert but I had close to 400 whp on my 03 auto and its doin great and has 101k miles on it now

 

thanks, thats good to know about the auto. Now what are the 6mt good for till they start to break or do I just have to upgrade the clutch as stated above

 

Auto w/ Transgo kit....FTW.
