6spdg37s Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 okay so as you guys know i have an 2008 infiniti g37s coupe 6-speed manual. got it in oct 2007. it has 10,6xx miles on it. and guess what. my throw out bearing is F'd up. the thing is so loud i cant even describe it. i am mad. very mad. because while i do like the car. it has had 3 recalls already and now has this going on. i checked with my car forum everybody that has a 6MT VQ (engine) has serious throw out bearing issues. and like 4 kids on my forum blew stock clutches under 15k (that was probably abuse related) but im just saying. im going to call infiniti and flip out later if they say it is not covered by warrenty cause its an abused part. given its not really an issue driving wise to have it making noise. but its the principal behind it the car was like 44-45k i believe sticker fully loaded. meanwhile i coulda bought a C5 vette at the time for 28k but i wanted something reliable daily driver my A-- anyway everybody thanks for reading feel free to make comments and have a wonderful day !

IMADreamer Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 That stinks, but that's Nissan/Infinity transmissions for you. I hope they get it all sorted out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Don't you love paying all that money to have problems with it!! My wife had an 03 Passat Loaded what a pos that thing was. Everytime I had a day off work that stupid car went into the shop. I finally had enough and we ened up with the Jeep GC. I do feel your pain!!

6spdg37s Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 i wish i got a vette or an srt-8 jeep instead but i do love the car but i jsut dont like little BS problems with it and it seriously lacks low end TQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 But you already have the Viper, the vette would be too much of the same thing, just my opinion. Neither are great for the winter in the NorthEast, now the SRT Jeep would be a perfect winter ride :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill-V8V Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Then that really is a bummer cause you could get a new C6 Vette for what you paid for that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
