The B15 Specs were known for having loud transmissions when cold. Really any car I've driven has been a little extra notchy when started cold.I hope you're not downshifting to first (you mentioned 2-1). First has no synchro, so it's not going to engage except at a stop or very slow roll without some force anyway.

thanks for the input. it just seems a little too loud and notchy to what i've experienced before, but this is my first close ration 6sp so i didn't know if that was customary. another reason for my concern is also because it's only between 1st and 2nd, 2nd to 3rd and up are nice and smooth from the get-go. as far as the 2-1 shift, i am talking about being stopped. i have two stop signs close to my house right when i leave out of the drive way so i stop frequently right off the bat and it is just as bad shifting back down to first at the stops as it is going 1-2. anyone else with a 2007 MT having similar problems?

Given that, I'm quite certain it's just a matter of it being cold. Keep an eye on it and if the issue starts to crop up when it's warm, take it in.

a little side note: when i leave the car in 2nd gear instead of neutral while it's parked it doesn't seem to be quite as bad on start up while cold.

YES. Mine started doing it after 1000 miles or so. I tried lubing up the bushings with red grease and it helped for about 200 miles. Right now, I just live with it until I read a TSB on it.

Its not just the spec-v ive got a 07' 2.0s with the 6-speed and my cars does it as well... i figured it was just cuz i beat the **** outa it but ive been noticing it alot more lately. i know exactly what your talking about and its not just the cold start for my because it will do it at lights as well... so mayb its not sometihng to do with the transmission so much as how the shifter itself is set up... but i honestly have no idea

has anyone brought their car into the dealership to get looked at yet? now that new prospector has said it's only gotten worse with his i'm starting to wonder if i shouldn't bring mine into the dealership and let them identify and fix the issue before it gets worse. only problem i see is that they are going to tell me its normal and not to worry about it.

I have the 07 spec v as well...for me it does it only when I first start the car in the morning when the transmission is cold. I think you shouldn't worry about it, and when you **** down to first gear, even at slow speeds it harder because they dont want you to accidentally put it in first, its for safety. But I dont think you should worry too much about it.

Since I work at a Nissan dealer, when the issue comes up on Assist I'll let you guys all know.

sounds like your clutch might need adjusting jbarb. could be related in some way to how the clutch was broken in since it doesnt do it as bad if you park the car in second. might just need a little adjusting somewhere in the shifting components.
