chrisjones6699 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Just out of curiosity, does anyone else's gear box make a scrapping sound in first, second, third and reverse at low revs? Its just that im being told by Nissan that its a common thing with the zeds!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddmroadster350z Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 What year is your Z? Main complaints are not a clean gear change 1st to 2nd when cold. Replacement gearboxes made NO difference. 07 plates with uprated engine having problems 4th & 6th gears. I'm afraid manual gearbox is a big let down Never heard of the noises you are getting Nissan are pulling your plonker, check Technical in this forum.

chrisjones6699 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Mine's an 04 plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I thought you just had your gearbox fixed? If its still making a noise then i'd play hell with Nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Honestly dude, dont get me started! I had it back and it sounded worse that before! the garage where i bought it from has had it back, phoned me yesterday saying they have found "no fault". I asked them if they done what i said to do ("put the windows down, find a quiet street and listen") and they hadn't done that! I'm waiting for them to get back to me today after they do what i've told them to do!! If they get back to me and say "no fault found", i'll ask if they would be happy to have it back!?....Then hand it back and find a new Zed! This has truly been a sh!t experience!

sunset350z Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Feel for you mate. Your first zed and all this @*!# happens , not the usual zed experience. I'm on my second high mileage zed now, and i haven't encountered a single problem with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 My gearbox makes loads of noises, but so does my clutch, flywheel, drive belts, suspension, fuel pump and my dodgy CD's in the bose. Most are normal, except suspension stuff. Maybe an owner near you can have a listen and give their opinion. Or demand a test drive in another car at Nissan, and if it doesn't make the same noises then it's not normal and they haven't fixed your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Chris, if you need a second opinion i'm just a pm away. You can listen to a high mileage zed as well and make comparisons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Chris, if you need a second opinion i'm just a pm away. You can listen to a high mileage zed as well and make comparisons Cheers Steve! I'll be back in wales next week (with my Zed, im not sure yet?) I would be very grateful for your opinion and to check your's out! Would it be cool if i gave you a shout when im back to see if you're about? I had a call back from the garage earlier. They have said that the sounds are "common" BUT, there is a nasty noise whilst in reverse and there is a lot of clutch judder. SO, they are replacing the flywheel and putting a new clutch in! (£900 apparently) So lets see what happens next week! So sit back and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 No problem Chris, give me a shout when you're ready Look forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddmroadster350z Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Can't understand "Noises as normal" guys, mine is a 56 plate model with 290bhp. The only probs are the tight change 1st to 2nd no noise at all in any other gear. I would agree if you have a judder in reverse it is definitely needing clutch replaced. Unless their is gear probs the new clutch should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjones6699 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 I just want my baby back! LOL I seriously hope that it will come back without the nasty noises! Then i can get down to some modding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
