Transmission Problem?
On down shifts to third I get occasional gear grind and now I'm also getting them going down to 2d. Not all the time, seems to be RPM/Speed related. I am new to the Z. It is a 2002 with 19,000 miles. Is this normal or do I have a problem?
No waranty that I know of

The problem with the transmission is that GM put to light weight of synchronizer forks in the trans and are replacing them with more substantial pieces.
There are other threads on this and is a well known problem for the 6 speed trans. Alot of the other members recommend rebuildin it with all aftermarket heavy duty parts to assure problem doesn't rear its ugly head again.
