2-3 and Nissan tranny's. My experience with my 6spd tranny is not a big deal, 3rd gear is just a little notchy and takes some getting use too. IMO, I would not call this a "problem" just something nissan should clean up for the next model year. WillSE's car sounds like it definatly has a problem.
that it did!! and today i called nissan bc there was a meesage on the machine and what would u know!!! they are replacing the 6 speed tranny NOT rebuilding it!!!! that is news to my ears and to add to my joy they are reokacing the clutch as well even though its not a warrenty item!!!! that supprised the hell out of me!!! so today is a good day with me and nissan!!! they are expecting the tranny and clutch to be in on tuesday morning!!!! if they get it then that i will get my car back on WED if not it will be thursday!!!! YAY!!! i had to be firm with the guy but now he is my new best friend!!!! so now i dont have to break in the engine just the clutch in transmission!!! what a pain! no more loud franken car intake for 500 miles!!! DAMN!!! oh well at least i am gettin a new tranny!!!!!

i just test drove a 6 speed for the first time tonight. i had this post in mind while i was driving it. although i didnt notice any major grinding into 3rd it did seem kind of "weird". it just didnt feel like every other gear when pushing the shifter into place. im new to manual cars so i dont have much credibility but 3rd gear did seem abnormal on the car i drove too.

Good news. I remember back in the day when I had a 5.0 mustang (rustang to some of you). I needed a new cluctch. Burned it up doing a line lock. Anyhow, the throw out bearing kept going and I had to get it replaced a few times. Hope that doesn't happen to you.
