I hope you have better luck with your Infiniti than my brother did with his '98 I30. His 5sp manual transmission died under the factory warranty and the local dealership refused to fix it citing signs of abuse. He only had the car for a year and purchased it second hand from some lady. Infiniti of North America was absolutely useless and he ended up going to Canada for a new transmission. He found out later that the core he traded in had a cracked case and huge chunks gear fragments and machine shavings in the bottom of the case.
