Look at the gear selector: a six-position stick indicates a 6-speed manual; a PRNDL layout with a separate manual shift gate indicates the 5-speed automatic with manual mode.
Documentation and VIN
Check the vehicle’s window sticker, owner's manual, or the VIN/transmission code in the factory documentation to confirm the exact transmission installed.
Summary
The 2006 Infiniti G35's transmission depended on the model: sedans used a 5-speed automatic only, while Coupes could be ordered with either the 5-speed automatic or the 6-speed manual. All-wheel-drive sedans (G35x) also used the 5-speed automatic. For buyers, confirming the exact transmission through the vehicle’s documentation or VIN is the best way to be sure.
