I am having issues with my 06 G35 6MT coupe. I learned manual on this car over the last ten months, and (as expected) my transmission is acting up. I am slowly losing a definitive friction point on the clutch, so I am assuming that has to be replaced. Sometimes, the clutch also "sticks" and will either pop out after a little while in the next gear, or I will have to pop it up with my foot before I shift again. Guessing the hydraulic cylinder has to be replaced as well.
As far as the gears go, sometimes when shifting into (most noticably) third, fourth, and fifth gears... there is a rattling noise before the gear seems to "catch" and start accelerating. I am thinking these gears probably are shredded and need replacements.
There is also a kind of "sputtering" noise consistently coming from the engine bay. It sounds to me like it is the drivetrain belt, as it is a constant sputter while the car is running. I was also told this could be the spark plugs. Has anyone had any experience with this problem?
Basically, looking for advice about these issues and wondering if anyone has ever had any of these jobs done so I could get a ball park estimate of the costs:
- *Clutch replaced
*All gears replaced (pessimistically)
*Clutch hydraulic cylinder replaced
*Drivetrain belt replaced
*All spark plugs replaced
