It's impossible to tell without opening. Unless you can open it yourself and don't mind putting it back together with the parts you need to buy new then you can do that. My theory is if you're paying someone to open it you may as well just have it rebuilt.

Unfortunately it's a bit of a gamble.

Only way i can think of is make sure it's got a shifter so you can row thru the gears and still spin the input shaft.

Not a 25det box i know but i bought a 20det box but did'nt test it with a shifter,i could'nt select a few gears and it locked it up.So yer thats all i can say.

I got stung. RB25det box - It still selecteed gears, but it has bearing noise right at 60km/h in 4th and decelleration.

There is no real way to tell, but if you buy it from a wreckers, ask, and im sure they supply them with a guarantee it works.

Syncros in my box are the only real good thing, it selects great.

i have heard talk that you can go to certain gearbox shops around the place and they have a test stand setup for manual boxes. it's probably just a lathe with an adjustable holding jig and some sort of output shaft RPM measuring thing hooked up to a computer. have heard it doesn't cost much to get em tested either.

But its not hard to remove the cluter of gears, well it wasnt when i watched a friend fiddle with his R33 box when needign to change push/pull mechanism.

If the thing hasnt been drained the plug would be a goof idea, but if someone knows anything about boxes, it would be good oif they could post some pics of what to look at...

While my box lives im happy to keep running it,but i am looking for a better solutiuon then a 2nd hand R33 box...i dont like the weight and i dont like the price.

I did hear that CA18DET box internals are the same????? And i Japan you can buy CA18 gear sets???? Pure speculation, but its what i was told

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
