luke 350z Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Hi all I'm new the the 350z world and the other day I was having a bit of a fast drive and iv noticed if I driving hard I get a crunch from 4th to 5th, what is the cause of this? And I'm after a new exhaust where's the best place to get one? Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Sounds like the usual syncro issue from 4th to 5th... What sort of budget do you have for the exhaust as we have a few options here - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_10 Please do let us know if we can help... Quote
luke 350z Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 How much and how hard is it to replace the syncro? And not to sure yet just getting ideas from prices Quote
GMballistic Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Welcome aboard. For the new exhaust there are plenty of excellent forum traders on here that offer us members some of the best prices on parts I've found. Two such traders I'd recommend are Tarmac Sportz and The Cougar Store (as above). Link to Tarmac: http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/products.aspx?CategoryId=32850911-9f8a-43e4-a5fc-24678e254d1d Link to Tarmac on here: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/146-tarmac-sportz/ The gear box can be a bit knotchy sometimes especially if it was a fast gear change. Sometimes the gearbox can become much better with an oil change as was the case with mine (also added "Molyslip" at the same time). A lot cheaper to do that first then to start trying to replace synchro's etc. Quote

luke 350z Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 Lol thanks for the input guys, it does it when the revs are high, if it's normal driving its sweet as a nut, is it worth doing? Do many of you guys get this issue? Quote

Do many of you guys get this issue? Mine was always bad between 1st & 2nd before the car/oils etc had properly warmed up in the mornings, ...and was bad between 5th & 6th gear whether warm or not (even at mild rpm levels). Had the gearbox oil changed & some Molyslip added and ever since it's been smooth as silk. I suspect yours would benefit from the same.
