If you bought it new from nissan, it probably has warranty on it! Take it back!

Oh and next time, don't do any power shifts or "just cuz race car" stuff. You shift fast, you ruin synchro's fast.

If you want to shift fast, get a sequential gearbox. Traditional synchro type transmissions do not respond well to fast shifts.
