Has anyone had problems with their 6 speed no shifting into reverse? Left it with he dealer for 2 days and they say it did not do it. One day later, it did it again. I had tried going from first directly to reverse, double clutching in neutral and going into reverse, driving a little forward and shifting into reverse and sometimes none of it works. It seems not to be synchronizing.

I have a 6 speed xterra '06, and I have to push down on shifter while shifting into R. I bought it used without owners manual. Took a few times until I figured it out. Not sure if g35 is the same, but try it.
