How Do I Put My Gear Shifter Back In?

hey, i've looked through people's how-to's on installing short shifters, etc.. but i haven't been able to find anything about putting a standard shifter back in place. this question is for an rb20det manual gearbox.

there 2 clips, one that looks like a standard circlip, and the other looks like a piston ring from my cbr250 (but i'm sure it's not). The circlip seems to be a smaller diameter than the hole it sits in. my guess is that the piston ring lookalike is meant to sit in the recessed groove in the wall of the shift holder to hold down the plastic bushes or whatever you call em. BUT HOW DO YOU COMPRESS IT ENOUGH TO PUT IT IN THERE? taking it out was simple from memory - so simple i thought to myself i wont even have to take note on how to put this bloody thing back together - WRONG!

any responses will be rewarded APPRECIATED MUCHLY!

cheers, chris.

you talking the one thats nearly 360deg with two small holes where the gap is?

get some needle nose pliers and squeeze this gap smaller

or you can go el dodgo and put half in, then a flathead in the small recess in either side and then slide the circlip down and push it in with the screw driver

it's not the circlip that is the concern, i can compress that with my needle nose pliers without much difficulty.. the clip i'm talking about is the one i have drawn below: it looks like a piston ring and is the same thickness as the circlip but slightly larger diameter...

cheers, chris.

if you look in the top of the gearbox where the shifter sits, there is a groove, this is where said clip sits. its a pain to get in put u've gotta be forceful with it, but it does go in

thanks shane, yeah I know about the grove. So I just force it in, cool...that's all I wanted to know.

Cheers

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
