Trying to bump this post once to see if I can get a response, otherwise I'll just ask the dealer when i get my next service done.
2006 G35X with about 86,000 miles.
I dont use my manu-matic mode too crazy often, but every now and then I have an issue when trying to downshift and Im not sure what would cause it since it isnt consistant. I will try and continue to test it further and pay more attention to when it happens, but for now maybe I can get some help with the information I have currently.
As far as I know, only when I try and downshift I will sometimes have the transmission do nothing. I recall it almost always happening when trying to go from 4th to 3rd and no matter how i move the shifter it just acts like I didnt touch a thing. Going back up shifting and I think it works perfectly, but during the times it wont downshift the only way it does drop gears is when i slow down enough for the RPMs to drop way low and it forces itself to auto downshift. I think after it does downshift I might again have the problem going down to 2nd. Then it usually works fine again after going back up.
This may only happen once during a full driving session and doesnt always happen. It only has happened in the middle of a driving session, never been the very first time I try and downshift when in manu-matic mode.
Im not sure how the whole system works, but could there be some sensor or something in the stick that is dirty or has bad contacts to not register my downshift? I initially considered it to be a wiring or grounding problem, but with it so inconsistant and rarely happening I wouldnt think thats the issue.
Is this something thats best to explain to the dealer so they can look into certain components for possibly a quick fix?
Its not like its an immediate need to get fixed since everything works fine when in drive, but this would be nice to have working correctly so I can drive in manu-matic whenever I want and not be annoyed by it.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has tried this combo for mods on their g sedan ? : stillen intake\ z-tube + plenum spacer+kinetix HFC + stillen gen 2 exhaust. I'm ready to install these soon, can't find any videos on this combo. 2004 g sedan. I was looking for a deep but not too loud and raspy sound.
