Loud Grind And Refused To Go In :/

Hey,

Was overtaking a car in 2nd gear, roughly 4000-5000rpm, decided to go into 4th gear and skip 3rd after overtake.

Clutch in, out of 2nd easily, neutral and press down into 4th, slow gear change.

As i pulled down to 4th, heard a massive grind and it didnt want to go into 4th. As soon as i heard the loud noise, put it back into neutral and rolled a bit and then into 3rd no worries.

Could smell something too after the loud grind, probably the clutch being pressed in for too long?

Are my Syncro's GG'd? or did the clutch play in this too...

Anyone know why it didnt want to go into 4th + loud grind :)

Gearbox is fine now and all gear's work.

Occasionally i have trouble down shifting into 2nd, as in it doesnt want to go in :)

Cheers

clutch was all the way in and no chance it was reverse. This is what confuses me..anyone have any more ideas?

Other things which may/may not relate;

- Occasionally have trouble putting reverse gear in.

- One time, my clutch pedal stayed half way in and had to press it a few times until it popped out to full length.

- 2nd gear cant be used in mornings until car warms up

- stock clutch also

cheers

i'd be looking at the hydraulics for the clutch

clutch pedal only going halfway in = get clutch serviced by mechanic. like race bred said maybe your hydraulics are shot.

as far as the grinding into 4th goes, most RB boxes have this problem. mine's a minter and even with new synthetic oil in it still grinds into 5th at high revs (4th is OK since the oil change though).

if RB synchros on 4th and 5th aren't brilliant then skipping a gear will only make life harder for them.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
