Please let us know if your dealer applies 12-027. I'm still looking for a definitive answer from an '09 person who had the new update applied on top of the old update. My dealer (and Infiniti customer service) both told me that 12-027 is the same thing if you already have 10-075a applied.
. He also said he hadn't heard of the 12-027 update...go figure. Oh well, I guess I'll try another dealer, but I must say the 10-075a update does seem better than what I had before.

I am saying by implication that paddle shifters are better than hand shifters. Hence why Formula 1, Indy and many other sports cars now exclusively use paddles. Paddles can be on auto or manual transmission cars, but presumably iif they are on an auto, you are only using them in a manual mode. Foot clutches are certainly a relic of the past.
Yes, I too am used to European cars where the manual mode is actually manual. Of course, in Europe the default assumption is that people know how to drive, which sadly is not the case in North America (where Infinitis have always been designed for).

I didn't say they were! It's foot clutches and old-style mechanically-actuated manual transmissions that are a thing of the past. Slow, annoying in traffic and make left foot braking harder to perform.
Electronically activated clutches are ridiculously faster, if on a manual tranny can optionally have programming attached to them for a "semi-automatic mode" and allow for easy left foot braking (there are only two pedals), which all top race drivers use (I still struggle with it, but keep trying when racing a race car).
Controlling your own gears will hopefully never go out of style!

Has anyone had the new TSB12-027 applied who had TSB10-075 applied?
I have a 2010 G37s I purchased new in August of 2010. After purchase, I noticed the same transmission problems that everyone is describing (and noted in TSB 075 & 027).
On 3/6/2011, I had my local Infiniti dealer perform TSB10-075. This really didn't help at all.
Today I went to the same dealership for new tires (I went with the Bridgestone Potenza RE970as Pole Positions - great tires) and to have TSB12-027 performed. I took a copy of the TSB for reference.
The service adviser sold me that their computer detected the latest programming version on my ECU/TCU and that this TSB did not apply to my car.
I asked the adviser if there were any outstanding TSBs for my car and he said no.
I don't know if I need to try a different dealership or call Infiniti corporate.
TSB12-027 describes EXACTLY what is going on with my car and I want it fixed. This is frustrating.

There has been a lot of confusion on the part of dealers about this update. I have a 2010 G37 and previously had the 075 update. They did apply the 027 update when I asked them to look at it. I was lucky I did not get the "you are updated already runaround"!
I would look at another dealer in your area (if you have one) because this update should apply to all 2009-2011 G37's.
Infiniti needs to do a better job of training/communicating with their dealerships since some of them have trouble finding this update even when you give them the document.

I have an appt on Monday with the dealership and luckily I know a tech personally to have it looked at specifically with this thread and bulletin from Infiniti.
My tranny does exactly those things and it feels sluggish right now as well. 11 G37 S, 11K.

This isn't my opinion, it's reality.
How many cars/models were available with foot clutches 20 years ago?
How many today?
How many in ten years? It will be close to zero. The trend is unwavering. Sorry.

In Italy, almost every car on the road, and currently available for sale new, has a foot clutch.
This perspective seems to be North American but does not apply to rest of world.
North America, to me, is the exception, where unskilled careless piloting of vehicles is the norm.
Just my 2 cents.
