two days ago my G started grinding while going into 3rd gear. To prevent this i have to let the motor wind down to under 2K to prevent the grind.

I have an appt at the dealer on thurs but i'm worried. It's still under warantee but how could this be? I only have 30k on the car. No mods.

I did search the forum and found some similar issues but they all seemed to be in 5th gear. i'm guessing sync issues.

Has there been a recall?

 

no recall's but I had this issue in 5th gear, they couldn't reproduce it but they checked it out anyways. Replaced my tranny, clutch and flywheel all under warranty, not a penny paid by me!

 

no big deal bro. im going in for my 4th time actually. it would be the 3rd actual replacement if they do it. mine is 5th gear again. it is the synchros they are very weak in our cars

 

update on my trans. The dealer says that the flywheel and bearing would be my responsibility. wtf? Have there been any other folks that have had the flywheel replaced because of this?

help

 

i jus brought my coupe in for the same prob and they r ordering me a new tranny.. i'll leave an update...

 

I'll post an update as well. they expect to be done with the job within 4 days.

 

my clutch went out at 7k, the dealer tried to make me pay for it n i told them to go to hell. the clutch wasnt making clean contact out of the factory. they shut up real quick n n/c'd it.

 

i agree that it would be the synchros. had a tt 300z with the same problem. don't let the dealer tell you anything else is the problem. i replaced a clutch at the dealership at my own expense at 30 k miles and ended up being the synchros. did not get a refund for the clutch job.

 

The Dealer replaced my clutch and trans. They said the flywheel looked good. All replaced at not expense to me. I'm getting the extended warranty.

 

I would talk to a lawyer and see if they can do something for you under the lemon law....if it applies to your state to see if they can replace your car papagz. let us know what happens

 

^^ thanks man. i have already statred that process and am waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. I LOVE my G. but too many problems by this time. 4th time for window going up really slow probably failing soon. 3rd time headlight has gone out for now reason. (stock bulbs) going for tranny again which was denied by a dealer LOL it was soo obvious but I will go to another one. rattles of course. axle clicking again.

 

Wow, looks like your car was made on a Monday after a good party over the weekend. That guys that put your car together were still hung over. Sorry to here that.

 

I had my tranny replaced at around 38,000 and I already had an aftermarket flywheel (JWT) and had them install a Nismo clutch while they were at it. That's the only way I can see having to pay for a replacement clutch and flywheel. If you have to pay for it,,,,,, upgrade.

Later,
