Changing gears at lowish speeds

[dbass]

ok so when I change gears at low speed you can hear like a mechanical sound, like you can actually hear it chanching gear.. is this normal please? everything seems to be running smoothly and it goes into gears well.. especially when warmed up like the 350's do

All normal, it is a big gear box and is slightly worse when cold but nothing new

ok thanks.. I was'nt sure.. thought it might be clutch on way out.. thrust bearing or something..

Mines the same, think they all are. I like the feel of the gear box. Actually feeling the mechanism working makes it feel more solid. Definitely better once warm.

There is a topic open in the 370Z section about someone moving from a 350z to a 370z and checking if the gearbox is still as clunky. Some members swap out fluid with molyslip which is supposed to make a real difference. Its on my to do list

Molyslip plus replenishment with genuine Nissan fluid makes it silky smooth, still has the bolt action rifle feel to it though which I love.

Haven't thought about it like that but I know what you mean. I like the way it feels too.
