I have a 03 g35 6mt. it has about 70k on it and i am the 2nd owner. my clutch just went out today while i was on my way to work, so i literally had to force the gears in to make it to my friends house which was on the way. later i went to a mechanic and he said it was mostly likely the clutch had to be replaced and he got help from a transmission shop next door to look at it. after further explanation the people from the transmission shop they said it has a semi-manual transmission. i think that it is complete bull becuz the car has a clutch. however, on the slow painful drive home i noticed that i was able to shift gears into 3rd and 4th without the clutch.

 

What are you asking??

 

First is there really a semi manual transmission on the 03 and second what is good replacement clutch?

 

WTF is a semi manual transmission???

 

its basically where you are able to shift the gears without the clutch, but if you have that transmission on a car, there is no clutch pedal. its like the triptronic transmission

 

Isn't that something like Dual Clutch transmission?

Im pretty sure your transmission is not sem-auto or what ever the BS they told you.

Take it to as different shop that know there way around a G.

 

Yea dude this is a regular 6spd with clutch. It's possible shift gears w/o the clutch but the timing has to be perfect otherwise you're in for a world of grinding. I would not recommend this.

What you need is a new clutch. Not sure for the G's but typically $600-$1000 installed.

 

k thnx for all the help.

 

A manual transmission similar to that of a semi-truck..

heavy, grabs late and notchy as hell. yep.
