ok so i bought my car during the winter time and during the time when i shift into gears it would feel kinda sticky and hard to shift into gears but it does go all the way in. a couple of months after only 5th gear was grinding just a bit. now it doesnt grind anymore.. yes its weird.. so whats even more weird to me now is that its shifting very smooth and it doesnt feel sticky like before.

this is my first summer with my car and its unusual to me and would like any info. to me im thinking that it was hard and sticky due to winter but never had that happen to any of my other 5speed cars... or it does happen but once it warms up it the sticky shifting goes away.. so now im kinda thinking "what if" this is how it is before the tranny or clutch goes out??

info on my car - 2003 G35 sedan 6spd tranny with 81,6XX miles. completely BONE STOCK

 

I am tired and don't feel like searching for you right now. What you will end up doing is swapping out the clutch fluid and it will help with the shifting. In reality you need a new cd009 tranny out of the 05-07 G35 and 350z model. This revision has beefed up synchro and got rid of alot of griding and hard shifts. I would start with fluid and see how it is and if it is annoying then live with it or swap out the tranny for $2500.

ONLY AND I MEAN ONLY USE NISSAN MTF. ALSO CHANGE DIFF FLUID

Tranny




Diff

 

damn it i was hoping that wouldnt be the answer :S. well is there any difference in the tranny i got now and the cd009 tranny? perfect fit? sorry still a noob. but thanks i will try changing the tranny fluid first and hopefully that works. thanks again faiz23

 

I had tranny issues but I sent it back to Thailand

 

I say you trade in your "weirdo tranny" for an Executive Transvestite

 

^ That is disturbing beyond words

 

^If you had seen that Eddie Izzard special, you'd be far less disturbed (and also rofl-ing)

 

^ Not sure I want to. But I like freak shows/train wrecks as much as the next so I might google it.
