What transmission is on the 2008 G37 Coupe Sport
#31
That is the way Infiniti sets the models. The 6MT is always a sport, the 5/7 AT's were only Sports if that option was ordered. Don't believe any of us, go to infiniti.com and select "build your G coupe". My AT 08 was an S, and my AT 11 vert is as well.

I want to highlight this Car and Driver article.... I cut out the best part should you not want to read it all. The Automatic tiptronic Tranny was an OPTION for the Sport Model. Its a Sport with one extra (more $$) option than your 6MT. Funny some of you say "its just a journey with a bunch of add ons"
Well an M3 is just a 330 with tons of add ons if you want to use that mentality.
Performance
"Our test car came with the Sport package, which is standard with the six-speed manual and optional with the automatic transmission"

Trust me, I remember this quite clearly when I bought my car back in 07. The website showed three distinct offerings: Base, Journey, and Sport. The Sport model required a 6MT and there was no 5AT option.
Don't take it as an insult, we're not saying one car is better than the other. Heck, I wouldn't mind having a 5AT right now...for one, it'd be a lot easier to resell. But that's just how Infiniti markets their cars. If you even go to the website right now, that's how it's done.

It's ok bro. Some of us are not that smart when it comes to cars. People don't know the difference with sport and journey.
They call it journey. We call it Sport 5AT and Sport 6MT. Don't break a vain and let's go back to the useless thread.

The "S" unless you are actually racing it is a very heavy upgrade. Suspension, steering ratio, transmission tuning, and maybe some exhaust tweaks? I've had the straight G as a loaner. It's no where near the same car. My son in law was way pissed when he drove mine. He had already bought the straight G sedan. So let me leave it with his quote:
"It isn't the same car!"
I hope this helps clear the fog. And as for the cost of an S version I came from american cars where a "sport" badge said "I don't know where to put my money" - to this baby where you can't come within a mile of bang for the buck with this upgrade. If you want a track car start with something that doesn't say "infiniti" cause that is too heavy. If you want an elegant blend of performance (real frigging kill yourself very quickly if you don't know what you're doing performance) and luxury, this is one of three brands you need to look at.
I'm just a poor N Ga redneck so I was stuck on used and maintenance costs. So the G won over the BMW 335i. Won't buy a used car with a blower.

Omg 3 pages of BS from a bunch of wet behind the ear noobes!!
Why are you buying a 5 year old car?? I bet you are in school! If so go buy something Reliable! If you can't buy a 2010 or 2009! Then you can't afford the car!
Finish up school and buy Somethng nice!
Omg 3 pages of just BS about 5at vs 7at!

thinking of buying a G37 60k miles, pretty cheap from what I see.
After reading many things, I realize that the G37 from 2008 with the 5AT is pretty sluggish, and just bad on gas mileage. Its 2012, I really do not want a 5speed.
My question is I thought all Sport models came with a 6MT, was the 2008 model made with a 6AT when equipped with the sports package?
thank you

Hey, I just bought my 2008 last year. Im 49 years old and don't appreciate being called wet behind the ears because I have a problem paying a 10% surcharge for driving a new car off the lot. I like paying cash for my car and avoiding car payments and interest. Ive never bought a new car and never will so stop ragging on the guy for being frugal
I'm not?
I cant help but like new supple leather on my tender ****...new smell of a New G...Ahh freshness...
Sorry seen all this has to toss my. 02¢ and get a laugh...
But the leather is Supple though...lmao

BUMP - I was searching around trying to find some specs. Does the 5AT in the 2008 have the same specs and bell housing etc as say, an 2005 5AT or do they change over the years? I have a Sport with Paddle shifters and am planning to send my trans off to be built up a bit for the turbo and would prefer to just send them a spare trans instead. AKA, will any year 5AT bolt up to my 37HR motor or do they differ year to year?
