Hey guys, i am the owner of a 2003 g35 coupe 6mt with 150k KM's on it. When i start in first gear there doesn't appear to be any slippage, but i think that it may rev higher than what it should. The car will pull no problem and speed up but the rev's are probably 3000 at around 20 km/hr and will rev high if i put the gas on. I don't know if this is a problem because all the other gears seem to be fine.

What you think?

 

Thanks for replying!

Cool i hope nothings wrong, the reason i got panicky i was reading somewhere online that said if you have high rpm's in first gear this might suggest tranny replacement
I also noticed that while in first gear the car is very sensitive to throttle play, ie: acceleration or deccelaration but i think that is to be expected in first...

What would be the signs of a tranny gone bad?

I have owned this vehicle for about 5 months and never get tired of driving it the exhaust note is awesome.

 

3Krmp at 12mph??? wtf?

you can practically idle 12 mph

 

3000K rpms seems high to me. 5AT but first gear tops out at around 38 MPH for me I think (3.53 FD)

 

Yeah... hmmm, i'm doing research and coming accros many symptons my tranny is experiencing... like i grind coming into third sometimes it's not bad yet but i have a feeling something is wrong with this transmission... This is not good!

I was just going to buy some 20' vs xx for this. It looks like i will be preparing this car for sale... i might lose $1000 or $1500... What do you think how much is a tranny replacement and is it really worth it?

 

buy a used one from the marketplace and install it yourself.
