I'm quite new to manual transmissions so here goes...

I've just noticed that when I'm sitting in neutral there is a slight grinding noise eminating from the gearbox. When i hold down the clutch it goes away and obviously i can't check for the noise while in gear.

Should I be worried??? *GULP*:D

Gearbox rebuilds are generally labour intensive and therefore expensive (I would say between $600-1000 depending on whats required). However you have little to worry about until you start noticing the gearbox not performing, eg: popping out of gears, not going into gears, crunching on changes etc.

Just let it make noise until it breaks. Mines the same, my input shaft makes noise at idle and it sounds like a bunch of tin cans when in reverse. I just put up with it.

Well I only really get crunches when I'm lazy and don't hold the clutch properly, and there aren't any strange noises in reverse.

There has been one or two times when I haven't been able to get into 1st properly but i think thats when i didn't go into the centre properly.

So is the advice to leave it for now??

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.

      Ah. I dunno why, but I skim read your earlier post and thought the manual switch was to force it on, not force it off. I'd be tempted to have both. So, your two in series, and another in parallel with those. Or, a master arm switch, followed by the manual force on and the thermo in parallel. 6 and 2 3s.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah been doing it in an x shape. Do you reckon it's worth putting guide coat early where the filler isn't sanded down completely smooth? Reason I ask is because as I'm sanding it one part might be level which I don't need to sand anymore but the other part might be high so I can just focus on that instead of sanding across the whole repair area. I wonder if the putty is too thin, though the area is almost completely smooth before I do it as I've already put filler prior.

      Just 2, and inline. One switch temp related other switch driver controlled.   I'm nearly in my head back to Arduino land for it...
