is this happening to anyone?

this has been happening to me lately. i havent really got the time to actually post my problem. i've done searching about it, but i think i have a different kind of rattle.

while i'm shifting from 1st to 2nd i would hear a clunk in the transmission (sometimes i get smooth shifts, sometiimes i get clunks). i would hear it after releasing the clutch from 1st to 2nd. again with 2nd to 3rd, releasing the clutch, i hear a clunking noise. from 3rd to 4th and so on, it's all good in the hood. does this mean that my transmission is giving up?

also, my friend said that my clutch was really spongy. he said it was really soft, compared to a 350z. he said the 350z's clutch are a lot stiffer than my g35. help me on this one. thanks

I get the same thing!!!!

But to me it sounds like it's coming not from the engine bay, but further back, like where the tranny is.

 

I get that same "clunk" sound only when shifting from 1st to 2nd.....it does not happen all of the time, but it does happen alot..... I've been curious to know as well.....

 

Holy crap i got to work today and asked our service writer about it and he said it may just be cold let it warm up but im having the same problem and i dont believe that to be it soooooo please help me as well.... also if anyone know ill be sitting in idle in neutral and something twitches and you can feel it in the shifter just barely like a small coughish kinda thing dont know but someone please help me out i wana get it fixed but everytime i bring it in i wont make the noise and i had my ECU cleared and it is still doing it ahhhhh sooo frustrating..

 

edit: i didnt mean to say the sound was coming from the engine bay, but more like the transmission area.

i also get rattles when shutting off the engine. what i figured out to stop the rattle was to hold down the clutch while shutting it off. but in releasing the clutch, i hear that clunk noise. i was wondering if i'm low on tranny fluid or what?

also, about the 'soft' clutch, do you guys have that problem too?
