When should I use 6th gear when driving?
5th, or 6th gear (if you car has it) are termed as ‘overdrive’ gears. An overdrive gear allows your car to cruise at a high speed while maintaining low engine revolutions. You’ll use 5th or 6th gear for highway cruising at speeds of 60 mph to 70 mph and are ideal gears for best fuel economy.
Can you start driving in 6th gear?
The vehicle will just stall out. If your asking if you can be in 6th gear, press down on the clutch, and slam on the brakes… Yes that is fine, and shouldn’t cause any problems at all (other then a car accident if someone is behind you). No, it’s fine.
What year 350Z has CD009?
The CD009 transmission was the final revision to the VQ35DE RWD transmission, and was originally shipped in the 05-06 350Z, 05-06 G35 Sedan, and 05-07 G35 Coupe.
Can you put a 6 speed transmission in a 5 speed car?
By “taller” gear ratio, I mean that the engine will spin slower while driving the vehicle at the same speed (typically better for fuel economy). I will assume that you mean a transmission with more gear ratios to select, such as a “6-speed”, to replace one with fewer gear ratios, such as a “5-speed.” Yes, you can.
How does the transmission work on a 350Z?
The transmission’s direct-control system used individual actuators to regulate the pressure of each clutch and band and offered synchronized, torque-managed shifts from 1st to 4th gears. A real-time learning algorithm helped the transmission continuously tailor shifting performance to the driver’s habits and patterns.

What kind of transmission does a Nissan Z have?
Nissan was justifiably proud of the work it did on the Z’s automatic transmission and applied for approximately 100 patents on this gearbox in Japan. Where a two-piece steel driveshaft with a center support bearing and center U-joint once resided, the 350Z featured a one-piece carbon-fiber reinforced-plastic unit.
Why is the 350Z a good car to drive?
It could improve traction on slippery road surfaces and enhance directional stability under hard cornering. And so, with the 350Z’s mechanical components squarely aimed at a well-rounded, highly entertaining sports-driving experience, all that remained to complete the picture was a suitable cabin environment.

What kind of drivetrain does Nissan 350Z have?
Where a two-piece steel driveshaft with a center support bearing and center U-joint once resided, the 350Z featured a one-piece carbon-fiber reinforced-plastic unit. This was a first for Nissan. Aside from reduced parts complexity, the new driveshaft afforded the benefit of a 40 percent weight reduction.

What’s the shift feel on a BMW 350Z?
Shift feel was designed to have short strokes between very well-defined gates. Nissan engineers benchmarked the shifter in the BMW M Coupe with the aim of making the Z’s stir-stick better still. The shifter stroke of the 350Z was significantly shorter than on the previous Z.
