Hi,
Test drove a lovely 350z yesterday, gear change was fine, no noises (it had its p3 in nov). 13k on the clock. But I kept struggling to find/get it into 5th gear, absolutely no grind/whirring etc . The guy out driving with me took it on an additional run with him driving after me, he got it into 5th no problem at low speeds and at spirited levels of driving no problem..
S0:
1) Does the transmission spacing take some getting used to? Its just I floated into all other gears but often felt like I was travelling wide right of 5th?
It’s having an AA inspection on Tue and I am asking for that to be focussed on, on the road test.
2) I am buying it from a garage. In addition to the AA test is it worth me asking them to have a proper look, they seemed really genuine and I am sure they would…
3) I also have a 6month return to base warranty direct with them (not insuranced backed). So could always take to an inde as soon as I get it and get a 2nd inspection. what do you think?
I fell in love with the car and I am hoping it was my gear changing not the car
Would you more experienced folk have any concerns?
P.s I have searched the forum for an hour and could not find much, found loads on the programs 5th gear and top gear, but not much about this issue.
Please help me.. I would be so great full.
