Anyone had any issues with shifting? (6MT)

Don't forget about the actual transmission fluid too, which can have a big impact on shift quality.


My manual transmission setup:

• ATE TYP DOT4
• Redline MT-85 GL-4
• Redline 75W-90 GL-5

I have had the same Z mechanic for over 15 years. I gave time my twin Turbo 370Z when I bought th 2024 Z. I let him choose what he thinks is best of the car.

Manual as well. I haven't changed it in this car. I skipped the Z34, but love my Z33.

Heh. My first car, when I was 16, was a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite (bug eye). No synchros. It was a great auto-X car, but twice I had to pull the transmission to replace a broken 1st gear. Engine had to come out to do that since the tranny wasn't accessible from under the car. Super PITA. That experience, along with SU carburetors, put me off English sports cars completely.

Anyway, notchiness in the 1 > 2 shift on the 370Z was very commonly mentioned and complained about over on The 370Z forums. This discussion thread provides a lot of deja vu .

My first car was a 1964 VW bug. So... take that for a difficult manual...

At first I was slamming the hell out of my shifter, and it was like it had a mind of its own. Then I realized mine’s an AT.
