Goochie Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My Z roadster has done a little over 1000 miles, so this morning I decided to give it it's first propper drive to work on some nice empty B roads It went very well but one thing I did ntice was that the gearbox seemed to become noticable looser and when stationary you really could hear the gearchange when I changed from one gear to the next. I assume it is the gearbox oil that has thinned with the heat? Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam's Z Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 It's a new box mate perhaps it just needs a little more time 'bedding in' At least it's not difficult to engage yet if it does sound overly noisy then it's a trip to the dealers I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochie Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 At least it's not difficult to engage yet I dont like the sound of that - is it a common problem ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 A small minority of owners have had problems with gearboxes. If under warranty they've have had them repaired or in some cases completely replaced the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_350z Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 My gearbox is well noisy - in fact, the whole car is noisy (mind you, I don't get any interior squeeks...yet). The gear box "rattles", the back wheels creak like an old man's knees, and sometimes when stationary and in neutral I can hear the cogs turning somewhere in front of me. I've done just over 10k. Mind you, it's still a blinding drive! First service on Fri! Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
