I've had the same thing a few times recently, co-inciding with a cold snap of weather. Since i'm doing the clutch now, the box oil will be replaced with Redline lightweight shockproof at the same time, which i hope will help. If you're not already running a fully synthetic 75W-90 or shockproof in your box, it might be worth trying that out first. Synthetics perform much better at lower temperatures than minerals, and its a much cheaper option than pulling the box...

this has happend to me aswell it wouldnt go into gear even if the car was on or off. i tried everything and still no good. so i changed oils to see if it was the problem and it was. in my case the thiner the oil the better it got. so fully synthetic oil is the best way to go. if ur not sure and dont want to spend the money for it. test auto transmission oil the red stuff (not Recommended to drive with just to test if it goes in gear smooth then dump oil and get fully synthetic)

I had a similar problem with my gearbox...driving along and then got jammed in neutral in the middle of a gearchange. After a while (10 minutes or so) of trying it was ok again until the next day then it did the same thing. Unlike the problem JETR-32 had, I could work the gears fine with the car off...because the problem ended up in the clutch. Was caused by a busted spring from the centre plate of the clutch which stopped it from engaging to allow the gear change.

yeh someonestolecc i read ur post i think,

was getting another box ya only option?

how about gettin ya selector replaced/fixed?

anyone know the cost of getting that done????

For me it was. I don't know what it's called but the part in the box that sits around the axle thingy, it had actually been sheared off. I think because it was rubbing too hard so probably out of abuse from the previous owner in the form of not maintaining it properly.

I dono what it's called lol BHDave will know he took it out :D:D

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
