change your gearbox oil frequently and you will never have the problem.

BTW the redline stuff should be changed just as regularly, so unless your made of money I'd get a couple of different grades of cheap stuff and see what works.

strich9ine,

your not supposed to flat change into 5th its only a 'little gear' :P

Pacey,

Your bearings need replacing. That is the first signs we got when both the R31 and a VL 3ltr boxes were on there way out. Both just needed the bearings replaced. Both were manuals too. Eventually it will become louder.

Yup, my bearings are gone too, not too loud atm, but it'll get worse I'm sure..I will be replacing them when I get my new clutch.

Oh yeah Strich9ine, you will need approx 2 litres of oil for that box..I will be doing mine soon too, I bet it's on the original oil..

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
