Not trying to defend a possible defect, but want to point out....Looks like the gear grind is real. Just a matter of how long it takes
Gear grinding has been a typical aspect of many otherwise good transmissions. The CTR has gear grinding issues too. I don't think it is common for a transmission to fail from a bit of gear grinding.
Also, going from N to 2nd at 40 MPH is very difficult for the synchros to deal with. If the car was coasting in N with the clutch engaged, the guts of the transmission is spinning and the synchros for the gear you are selecting need a bit of time to match shaft speeds a bit closer, synchros basically are there to mitigate the shaft speeds inside a transmission, because all transmissions would grind without sychros. But, there are limits to what a synchro can do. That's why a lot of transmissions that grind a bit, you can eliminate the grind by waiting another couple fractions of a second to allow the synchros to do their job.
Also, many transmissions can benefit from a higher performing trans fluid.
Not saying this isn't an actual problem, very well could be. But, a lot of cars I have owned over the years, have had mild, occasional grinding problems, and at least for me, I'd still take it over a poorly programmed AT.

Can't be sure if he's downshifting or upshifting. When downshifting, the auto-rev match should've handled that, or upshifting from 1st, which should not take any time in N, 2nd gear (only?) grind is obviously a problem. Was he going 40 mph in N, i.e. coasting, then up to 2nd? Not normal driving and will be a bit tougher for the synchros.Looks like the gear grind is real. Just a matter of how long it takes
I really think Nissan has a real problem and better fluids are just band-aid. Especially for those of us that will push the Z hard. Another hold-up, this has been a mess!

Not much to add to this thread other than I put a deposit down at my dealer in BC for a Performance 6mt back in May, no updates other than a reconfirmation of the MSRP ?
My wife keeps joking that the car will arrive with the first snow fall ?

That sucks for Canada. The US is still getting normal Zs for the fall correct?

Pretty sure I'll cancel my order in the next days, and really sad that I didn't buy a used Corvette C7 to enjoy this summer...
I was listening to my dealer :
The Z will be delivered in the end Of June...
The Z will be delivered near mid July...
The Z will be delivered in early August...
The price of the car compared to what we were told and the way the delays have been handled is a pure joke
