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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
