2007 G35S 6MT Transmission problem
I took my 2007 G35S 6MT with 88,000 miles to the dealership yesterday to check out my transmission issue. the transmission is grinding going into 5th gear and when I first start up the car in the morining its hard to go into 1st gear. The dealer told me that my clutch needs to be replaced but my clutch is not currently slipping. Does this sounds like a clutch slipping or do I have other issues going on with my transmission. Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.
Thanks
Tony

^ whs changing trans fluid should be the first step given it could be the most cheapest solution but stay with OEM Nissan MTF fluid to avoid grinding issues that some have with AM fluids. Do the ~35mph 6th gear test and if the clutch is not slipping then i doubt thats the issue. If you search on here you will see posts on people have grinding issues with AM fluid that went away after switching back to OEM
Change the fluid first and if that doesnt solve the problem it could be bad syncros.

BTW, the reason I'm not thinking it's clutch is because he's not reporting that he's grinding other gears.

Thanks for the wealth of knowledge on what could be the problem. I will first change the tranny fluid this weekend and see if that fixes the problem and then try the 6th gear slipping test. I can tell you it only grinds going into 5th gear and no other gear, it's only hard to go into 1st gear first thing in the morning when I first fire the car up, during the rest of the day no issues. I still have a bottle of the replace fluid left, I will check the SPECS on it. Again thanks for the information, being in the Military limits spending $2400 to have the clutch replaced by the dealer.
