as u will all no from my previous topics about r33's... im not all that mechanical n stuff.. but heres my problem anyway...

tonight driving home from work.. as im shifting up/down and throwing it in first gear on take off.. its really really stiff.. as if its like it doesnt want to go in.. and its only getting slowly worse n worse.. and onnly recently.. everytime i let go of the clutch.. theres a noise on idle.. like a hissing noise.. and everytime i put my leg back down on the clutch its gone..

does this mean my gearbox is gone.. or on its way? or is it something smaller.. such as maybe gearbox/ clutch oil???

anyone have suggestions/ideas on what this could/ couldnt be???

some advise would be really good.. rather than someone telling me shit i dont need to hear...! thanks guys

changing oil in box may help with stiff shifts

the noise that is there with clutch out but goes away when clutch is in is most likely from your thrust bearing, cheap part to replace but you have to pull the whole box out to get to it (ie a $30 part with $350 labour to replace...unless your doing it yourself). Personally I wouldn't worry about the thrust bearing, the noise while annoying won't damage your box, just replace it when your clutch goes

    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 馃槀馃槀 and thank you brother 馃檹馃徏 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts.

    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
