Today I was having a little squirt against some dude in a rotary, and my gearbox "locked".

The gear shift came out of 1st alright, but then when I tried to select 2nd at around 6k rpm (roughly), it wouldnt go in. I tried 3rd, that wouldnt work either. I couldnt select ANY gear. I had to roll to a stop and then ram the gear stick into third with my foot on the clutch.

This is the second time it has happened ... first time was on Friday night. I had also just launched on that occassion and was attempting to change into 2nd.

What is causing this?

Any help would be muchly appreciated :P

Most likely u have selected 2 gears when attempting to change gears. What happens is the selector gets stuck between the 2 gears, and even thou u can move the shifter around, it wont select anything else. This happened to me and my gearbox locked up. I had to get it reconditioned cos it was stuck and wouldnt come out.

it's happened to him twice now - the first time was wierd ... after he pulled over and got the gear in, the shifting was REALLY easy, like it went into gears so much more 'loosely' than how it used to, and currently, does (and it engaging the gears as he tried moving forward and back etc)

off to g/box specialist then! :D

this on sundays cruise? i was behind that RX3(i think), saw u 2 launch then u pulled over into UWA, i thought u wanted to hide after he left big snakeys at 60km/h when he changed into 2nd :P, he was lookin for u after that, couldnt work out where u went. that thing probably did low 12's at least.

my gearbox has also become very 'easy' to shift. its got a c's short shift kit, which always felt very tight (a bit too tight, felt had to use a bit of force esp when cold), i got redline shockproof put in my gearbox about 1-2 months ago, and it's pretty much eliminated any crunches i ever got, changing into 2nd from 1st, especially when it was cold. but just in the last few weeks its become really easy to shift, which is a good thing and no crunches ever now. :) let us know how yours goes.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
