Gear Box Noises On Skylines

Hi guys,

i just fitted a new H/D clutch and changed my gearbox oil (Redline). However, i noticed that my gearbox sounds pretty loud. It's the grinding sound that i know you normally hear but i feel that mine is exceptionally loud!

The clutch sounds loud as well when i release the clutch to neutral, only when i 'clutch in' then the sound goes away.

Is anyone going through the same situation as i am or it's pretty much normal or i can do something to decrease the noise besides increasing the volume of my stereo?

was it just a heavy clutch or a twin plate. if it is a twin plate, then they always make noise. if it was just a heavy single then the noise is most likely a noisey input bearing. i have the sound noise and thats what i got it diagnosed as.

What type of noise is it.. rumbling?.. whining??..

Sounds like it's probably on the input shaft bearing if it's when clutch is out in neutral..

Mines currently got a similar issue, however 20x worse.. sounds like i've got straight cut gears..

Yes links it's the whining noise. Sometimes u can hear it when u release the throttle. How bad is yours?

Is there any way at all to fix it?

No mate you'll be allright, I have the same problem and most of the people I know it is a bit annoying but you get use to it i suppose.

It can go for years apparently until it finally dies on you, and if you are smart you would have saved some money and get an RB25 second hand gearbox put in. apparently they are tougher than RB20's.

Sorry for the late reply..

Mine is really loud on acceleration/deceleration.. so whenever you put load on it really..

You could look at recoing the gearbox.. no point replacing an input shaft bearing and that's it as they need to remove the front bell housing off..

$400 labour to pull it down..

$300 labour to reco gearbox

+ parts..

2nd hand R33 gearbox - try $1400 in unknown state.. so see how annoying it is..

Than again.. with these things you never know what it could be.. maybe goto a gearbox specialist and get a recommendation..

With the clutch in.. e.g. foot on pedal.. and free revving it - can you hear it??..

Also - in 1st/2nd.. rolling down a hill with the clutch in.. can you hear it??..

I don't drive an r 32, i've got a 34 :) but i don't think a 33 gear box can fit into a 34?

Well.. I would.. but my one got replaced about 300kms ago..

I've got a rattling/squeaking thrust bearing as well.. but it appears to be going away as it maybe grooves in or something.. not sure what the hell is up..

does the rattling go away when you depress the clutch pedal??

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
