This post is really just to get a bearing on one specific issue; clunking or crunching manual transmissions. Please don't add any other problems that you may have. This post is really just a gauge to see how common this syncronizer problem is that causes a clunk, or crunch when shifting.

With that said, I'm on transmission number two and it is doing the same thing as the original, that is second gear clunks until it is thouroughly warmed up. Sometimes, it manages to crunch/grind into gear. All of the other gears work as promised, in the sense that they have smooth and quiet engagement.

If you have a manual, just vote!

Thanks,
Chris

 

My 6-speed is a little notchy going from 1st to 2nd. All other gears are fine. Once its warmed up, it's much smoother. I'm considering changing the gear oil. Joel

 

I have problems with the rain coming off of my trunk and getting everything wet when I open it.

Isn't this about the MT?

 

Same here! A little Notchy on the 1-2 shift. but other than that all is smooth shifting with the other gear's!

 

Has anyone changed their tranny oil? I wouldn't mind switching to Redline. I did it for my Mazda6, and BOY was it nice. And it helps to keep the tranny lasting a long, long time, too. That's probably the only engine-related mod I'll do to my beautiful-even-at-stock G.

 

I would, but don't want Infiniti to be able to point to something that I did and say that is what caused it. That would be an uphill battle in court if it came down to that.
