George Dredd Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi can anybody tell me if it sounds like my gearbox is playing up.... when I change gear I can hear a bit of a clunk, it happens in all gears only as I move the gear stick, it is a noticeable sound but does not affect the gear change or performance, it is just a one off clunk as I change gear, are your gearboxes totally silent as you make the shift or am I just being paranoid? The car is a 54 plate with 69000 on the clock. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dredd Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Oh and I forgot to say it does not make the noise if you shift quite slowly and gently but does make the noise on a normal to fast shift. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Does it feel like you're beating the sychro ? ...... quite a common problem on the Zed, especially 4th to 5th at high revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Don't worry sounds perfectly normal, i was worried about the same thing when I first bought mine but found it was normal. Seems a notchy clunky gearbox especially noticeable in first and second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yep, that's the 350z gearbox. Not the smoothest in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubzie83 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Mine clunks all the time with the shift from 1st to 2nd being the worst. It also make quite a lot of noise when just moving the stick around with the engine off with clutch pedal depressed. I think the gear shift linkage is just noisy on this box as is the release bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
