8-10 minutes??? ppl in sunshine reported felt it too, but as I was in Brimbank Central keeping the in-laws entertained while they shopped at Miller's & Payless really puts me to sleep till I felt nothing about the earthquake...

or perhaps it was the beer I had after work... I was pretty drowsy and bored there at that time

I was in the cinema at 9pm and i felt someone kicking my chair for like 5 seconds. Turns out it was the earthquake shaking the chair haha. Was about to tell the guy off but he was too busy looking behind him haha

Hahaha that's classic!

My mum came into my room and told me to turn my music down because the bass was shaking all the windows. My sound system was fried in a power surge earlier in the week... ;)

She's a real smart one.

Im in Thomastown, was working on the car with my old man when everything just started shaking. Never felt anything like it before. We were actually in the car and it felt like a lowrider! hahaha. To top things off we heard the lady next door screaming like someone was about to kill her! LMAO Didnt really know what was happening, but pretty wired 5 seconds or so.. ;)

We felt it in Port Melb. I thought it was just the cat scratching the sofa like they do occasionally where they start pulling at it. Jumped on the Herald Sun site and was quite surprised to see what it really was :)

I didnt know what to do so i just kept on ebaying haha

Lol, yeah that's exactly what I continued to do :)

The general public get trained to respond to different natural emergencies depending on where they live. We get trained in bushfires as that's what happens here, not earthquakes. In Japan and Taiwan, most of the public are well trained to respond to earthquakes.

      Fourth gear grind

      How fast are you doing the downshift? 4th gear was revised multiple times until 1998 to fix this issue. Synchro clips can fall out, synchros can wear. Most likely you're looking at a new transmission unfortunately. If you need to limp it until then double clutch downshifts into 4th.

      Sorry I was being harsh there, but am I wrong? You can buy a M340i easily, and there's loads available second hand. A lot more workshops modifying them as well. How about getting parts for them? Don't get me wrong, I'd love a 400R, even a 4cyl (I looked at a few V36s before buying my shitbox BMW). Sadly Infiniti died in Aus and we're stuck with importing them as niche vehicles. Supply and demand

      Fourth gear grind

      Yes I think we changed out the transmission fluid as I had a leak last year so we changed out the seals also. Need to check.    I should have said just change from 5th to 4th gear … down shift. There’s a grind.    I have a new clutch X clutch … but as I said all the changes in other gears are fine.

      Change the transmission fluid. I would try Motorcraft XT-M5-QS if you have it in your area for a reasonable price. Also, double check your clutch is fully disengaging. If you are not pushing the clutch pedal to the floor fully for every shift now is the time to start. Make sure the clutch is fully bled. The damper line requires two distinct bleed points to be purged of air or it will not disengage the clutch properly. If either hydraulic cylinders input or output are losing hydraulic pressure in their seals/leaking you can have problems like this. If you've ruled out everything else then the most likely explanation is the synchros are worn and you need to double clutch the shift or rebuild/replace the transmission. The transfer case is discontinued FYI so you may want to rebuild it while you're in there too. If the chain stretches past spec it can do a ton of damage.
