Well man - I've got a 6spd w/ 10k, and Nissan is giving me a new one as they can't identify a noise that it's producing on decelleration in 1st - even w/ the clutch in...
I'd say not to worry, but rather, pay attention to noises, change in shift smoothness etc...

Ok my problems were these:
1. A "howling" noise when releasing the clutch slowly (like in heavy traffic) in 1st 2nd and 4rd gears, couldn't tell in 4th, 5th, 6th...
2. Try cruising at like 50mph in 6th then downshifting to third, mine would ALWAYS grind third even with my foot planted solid on the floor with the clutch engaged as much as possible...ALWAYS grinded 3rd.
3. Sometimes my car would vibrate lots going into 2nd gear.
I was actually just expecting them (the dealer) to replace my clutch disc plate and say I was an idiot and didn't know how to drive a manual transmission car (which he did say btw...until he took a ride with me) but I never expected to get a whole new tranny. Hope this helps.
P.S. Did I mention it would ALWAYS grind 3rd when downshifting from 6th? ALWAYS.

That's just the thing I don't know why only 6th to 3rd. Also, if you wanna really freak out, here's what I'd do when I was bored.
At a stop light, try putting your car into first without the clutch (it won't grind, it'll just start slowly rolling forward). Try this in ANY gear and check if it grinds, mine would...in 3rd only! Imagine that, I try 6 different gears and only 3rd grinds...hmmmm
Either way, I'm getting me a new tranny in as we speak and I should have my baby on Wednesday

i accually asked the service manager where my warrenty stood b/c i have the 100k mile warrenty and if they said that it was cancelled i would get the 1k bucks we spent on the extended warrenty bc it hasnt become effective yet. the service manager spoke with the south eastern service guy or whatever and asked him what the warrenty situation is on my car and the guy said everything except for my clutch is 100% covered. i was pleased and decided to keep the 100k warrenty. my situation isnt the normal situation i have had NUMEROUS warrenty claims that were legit and am still having trouble with a few things. oh well!

I am an auto
and my tranny had it's last breath at 42000 miles. Yes I drive it hard, and it was slipping for about 5k miles before it went. It got alot worse once the intake and y pipe went on.
As long as it goes before 60k miles, your okay... they'll replace it for free and give you a ford focus to drive!
I wish i had gotten a 5spd..

Well I'm sad to report but it looksl ike I am your twin too.. Now with 18K miles my tranny makes a awful grinding noise when I shift to 3rd.. The noise happens when I go to 3rd at 50+ MPH from any gear other then 2nd. Looks like I am going to have to get this fixed because it's starting to really bother me. Unfortunatly my nissan dealer does not have any rental cars so it looks like it's gonna come outta my pocket. Well the plus about all this is I am going to try to get a HLSD as a replacement, muahhaha, wish me luck. Ohh and Will or others.. how long did it take to get your tranny fixed?

At least I'm not the only one with the problem. My car went in on Wednesday and supposedly it'll be out Wednesday (1 exact week). I'll believe it when I see it rolling outta the garage and into my waiting hands and feet. Hope y'all get this taken care of quickly and without problems like I did. Just be polite but forceful. Make your point but don't get angry, it'll just make them happier to service you wrong. Goodluck everyone.
