Hey guys,

So I'm back with my sloppy/slappy gear changes.

The car feels terrible to gear down, reversing and taking off.

I replaced the diff with another that didn't have backlash (still stocker) and I still have an issue.

What happens is when you down shift it clunks from the rear of the car as you clutch out. Same happens in reverse and sometimes taking off and just while clutching and driving.

Ideas? Heeeellllppp

What type of clutch plate do you have - solid centre or sprung centre?

You might have to learn to heel/toe the downchanges, or maybe even double clutch.

Not sure to be honest it was one that was made from a clutch place in Sydney

It has springs in the plate so does that mean sprung?

Maybe start with one of those free Pedders 25 point suspension check, worth a try.

Taking your car to Pedders is like taking a date to McDonalds......

OP - ask for a local shop suggestion in the ACT section.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
