Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2005Spec-V Transmission...Any Improvement?
Has there been any improvement since 2002 in the transmission of the Spec-V? Drove one back then and transmission shift feel was terrible.

Drove one back then and transmission shift feel was terrible. > >Professor >www.telstar-electronics.com The transmission was updated in the 2003 model year when all ratios but 2nd, including the final drive, were modified. Ratios are: Gear Type: 6-Speed Manual with Overdrive in conjunction w/ a Helical Limited Slip Differential Clutch Type: Single Dry Disc 1st Gear Ratio 3.153:1 2nd Gear 1.944:1 3rd 1.392:1 4th 1.055:1 5th 0.809:1 6th 0.673:1 Final Drive 4.133:1 Reverse 3.002:1 If the shifter feels imprecise, there is a NISMO short shifter available. It can be ordered from the Nissan parts department. HTH So I guess what you're saying is that Nissan has fixed some of the objections in that transmission. Does the shifter still feel so notchy?

You could also ask on web forums like http://forums.thevboard.com/ and http://www.b15sentra.net/ . Good luck. Of course it feels notchy Its like trying to shove 10 pounds of sh.t in a 5 pound bag. The transmission case on the 6 speed is smaller than that of a five speed So things had to be engineered in such a way to make things work for all you so called "drivers" out there. > So I guess what you're saying is that Nissan has fixed some of the > objections in that transmission.
