Shuddering Issue - All The Way Through 2nd Gear After A Hard Shift

Hi Fellas...

I've had a crack at the search function but it's a bit too vague I'm having trouble matching others' problem with this one.

First of all, this problem doesnt occur all the time. It seems to be pretty random.

After an aggressive shift into 2nd (and sometimes but rarely, right into 3rd as well) the entire car will shudder all the way through the gear. I'll feel it in my seat, its not a huge shudder but def. noticable. The car doesn't lose power throughout. Put it into the next gear and it goes away.

One thing of note, is I'm aware that one of my fear subframe bushes have ruptured (the Gel filled ones). I have the new part ready to go, but they are not in yet. >Could this cradle movement be a potential cause of the problem?<

Keen to hear if anyone has had a similar issue. Thanks heaps guys.

does it feel like you have haps out of balance wheels?

mine does that. just the atessa cutting in while theres no need to. it shudders the whole car. just happens randomly when driving and go over a bump etc etc.

just lift the throttle and the torque will go back to 0

Check all drivetrain mounting points from the engine mounts back or clutch.

no comparison to a GTR i know but my R31 started doing it when i put my rb25det in.....it turned out to be the centre bearing in the tailshaft.

food for thought.

how much did it cost for you to get this fixed?

I know completly different cars and all, but my old 83 telstar did the same thing. It got worse over time. It turned out to be the torsion springs in the clutch were shagged and the clutch needed to be replaced.

My two cents (might not help, or not be the problem. Just throwing it out there)

its definately not a traction issue? if not you need more power :P dont know if cradle movement will be the problem, but maybe its making a smaller shudder much worse... assisting the problem rather than creating it

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
