The contact owns a 2008 Nissan 350z. The contact stated that the transmission grinds into second gear when the clutch is fully disengaged. In addition, the transmission stalls and is less likely to grind in second gear in warm weather conditions; however, the failure still persists. When shifting from 3,500 rpms to 4,500 rpms from first to second gear, the transmission would grind more. The dealer advised him to bring in the vehicle for inspection. The contact will take the vehicle to them within the next 24 hours. The failure mileage was 4,500 updated 02/24/09. When the consumer shifted to second gear from first gear, the transmission would grind and would not engage. Updated 02/26/09.
