Normally doesnt seem to go into 5th gear! HELP!
Hey guys,
I believe I have a bit of a problem, although I never really noticed it since I bought the car last year.
I drive on the highway and it doesnt SEEM as though it is in 5th gear.
The way I checked was simply by switching it into manumatic mode, and it shows 4 on the dash. I am assuming by it having a 4, it is STILL in 4th gear, correct? Unless this is some triptronic feature I never heard of.
So... what can be the issue?
The car is covered under warranty, but I got to fork over $150 diagnostic fee if there is or isnt anything wrong with it.
I'd rather check with the resident experts on this great forum first!
The car is a 2005 G35x sedan.
THANKS A LOT!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Before I swapped the diff for a 3.5 I would be running at 2800 RPM's at 80 in 5th gear. Check that on your car. Also, can you shift into 5th when you are using manumatic? If you switch over to manumatic while driving in 5th the car automatically downshifts into 4th assuming you are about to accelerate.

LOL it was confusing me too how it always shows 4th when i swich over to manu mode, i thought it was just my car and i was about to take it to my dealer. but i think my G is different from what u guys were saying, it shows 4th no matter what gear position it's actually in (even when it's standing still), and it always shows the same gear position in the dash even tho the gearbox is shifting down when decelerating.
