Where To Get My Gearbox Checked/rebuilt

[Links]

Hey Guys,

Looks like one of the bearings in my gearbox has probably gone and it's now whining..

I'm probably looking at getting it rebuilt/bearing replaced and do the clutch at the same time..

Was talking to some of you @ the Dyno Day regarding it..

Now I was wondering if anyone has a place they would recommend I go to and get them to take a look at it.. I'm based in north sydney, so the north shore would be nice, however I think hourly rates are a bit over what I really want to be paying..

Any help would be great..

I'm probably looking at going to a gearbox specialist, I dont think I have to go to a jap car specialist for this..

Cheers

The Gearbox Factory at Greenacre sorted mine for me. All About Gearboxes (Seven Hills I think?) come well reported as well.

I agree, it doesn't have to be an import guy. When Gearbox Factory fixed mine he mentioned that all the Nissan gearboxes are much of a muchness and mechanically almost identical.

Hope this helps

For anyone wondering here is the issue i'm having:

I'm sure this has to have happened to someone before.. and i'm sure you have got a gearbox rebuilt @ some stage..

you might want to compare the price of a second hand box against a rebuilt one, I think you'll find a lot of people just chuck another old one in there.

no doubt a rebuild will give you a better result tho

I'm probably more keen to rebuild the box due to it being a 98 and I doubt i'll get a replacement box that is the same age..

Read somewhere the later gearboxes have a different sychro design or something along that line that makes the later ones more "robust" than earlier ones (not 100% on that)..

either way - it's still changing smooth, drives fine, doesn't crunch.. so from the sounds of it the gears sound ok and the synchros are a-ok as well.. - would rather pay to get the bearings replaced..

Cheers though duncan, any recommendations, or just take it to a gearbox place..

Gearbox Factory at Greenacre, been there and they helped me out of a tight situation. Admittedly not my GTR. But their service and advice was good considering it looked like the place was going to chop my car in half and sell it in there back yard. LOL No it looked like a place that worked for their money not like half the places around North side. When u find out how much they charge post it plez.

Found there card, 80-82 Rosedale Ave Greenacre 2190 Phone: 9790 2984

Can't hurt to call.

Cheers guys..

Spoke to my mechanic, we've narrowed it down pretty much too the input shaft bearing..

quotes about $700 to do the bearing.. or $1200 to do the clutch at the same time..

$460 for labour.. rest for parts + oil..

Well.. i'm back to looking at getting someone to redo the gearbox..

Got clutch replaced - including thrust bearing - however this hasn't fixed the issue..

So either its the diff or the gearbox bearings..
