is the slag between 2nd and 3rd a Nissan trademark or something? it was terrible in my KA 5spd in my s13, and when i did the rb20 swap i expected better....nope. still falls on it's face when driving normally. had a 5spd in the 76, same thing. lost 1st and 2nd in it and therefore put the 4spd in, same friggen problem. in a bulk buy i got some really cool stuff (an old autocrosser seller) including unopened, brand new in box e31 and p90, a couple race motors (1 l24 and 1l28). the mystery item is a 5spd tranny that i have sitting in my storage unit. not getting my hopes up, but i watched the video with keichi tsuchiya driving the spirit garage z and i noticed that 1st is in the down position. this tranny has a shift knob on it with 1st in the down position. tomorrow i'm riding to smyrna, TN to buy an '02 GS300 for a daily so that i can get back to tooling around on the z's and the s13. i'm sure i'll have to install and drive the new tranny to get any answers unless you guys have some. as this is off topic, feel free to just pm me the answer, or if the moderators don't mind and it's a quickie answer, i'd appreciate that as well. please and thanks for any help!
