I purchase this vehicle as second owner with 24,000 miles. After a 2 years of using this vehicle on the weekends, I start hearing the 5th gear grind. I did not paid to much mind because it did it now and them, not every time. 4 years down the road, it did it more often and I knew it was in for transmission problems. . About a week ago my 3rd gear made a vibration and a horrible sound and that was when I knew something really wrong was going on. . Today my car lost 3rd gear, it won't take, after I put the vehicle on 3rd I accelerated and nothing happens. 5th gear still grinds and but still work. It is not my clutch because 1st 2nd 4th and 5th and 6th still very strong pull. . Now I'm driving this car to work, getting money together waiting for the break down or transmission lock. . . I feel unsafe on the road, but I do have to get to work I have no other choice at the time. I hate mistreating my z this way. . . . 49,500 miles on the transmission. .
