i currently own a g35 sedan auto and this person with the same car and year (miles about 3-4k difference) exept his is a manual and wants to do an even trade title to title. he claims hes tired of driving a manual through traffic and i in the other hand wants a manual. my main concern is that im hearing and reading alot of problems on manual g35? any advice...

 

Well if you know alot about the manual transmission just take it for a drive see how it feels. If the clutch feels burned out and you hear grinding noises then most likely i would take it , but if everything sounds good and feels good...why not. If he is your friend and he screws you over...well you know where he lives.

Check for oil burning too. No one really knows the percentage of cars that are affected, but we do know it's the 6mt's not the autos that have the problem.

 

The 6MT has problems with the synchros. It can be made worse by bad shifts but still seems to happen. Lots and lots of us have had a new tranny or two or three installed.

 

thanks alot for the advice. i heard the same manual tranny was again used for the 07 g35 and still the same problems was accuring to the new g owners as of now. i hope this is corrected soon by nissan how much for a new or used manual tranny? or is getting it rebuilt a better way to fix it? btw this dude that wants to trade me mentioned his manual g runs great exept for a new clutch at 30k miles on normal driving... im sure a factory clutch should last longer... hmmm

 

+1... I have no idea why (and don't know if anyone does)... but there is a poll on this site regarding motor oil consumption and by far the '05 and '06 MT are going through more oil than AT (of any year).
