hey guys, this may be a common prob but i did a search and couldnt find anything related to it.

ok so i have a stock gearbox, clutch and diff in my r32.

every time i change from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd she glunks from around the middle of the car.

not into the next gear, but as soon as its taken out of that gear. this usually wont happen if i change at real low revs.

i also have the common bearing sound with the disengaged clutch also if that helps?

ive been told it may be my syncros in my gearbox are fried, or my diff may need to be tightened?

if so whats the costs?

cheers :)

The bearing noise you hear is your thrust bearing wizzing around like normal. some are noisier than others and are generally replace each time you do your clutch.

Second, the 'glunk' you hear i would imagine is either your centre bearing in your tailshaft either loose or worn, or could also be your front yoke uni joints in your tailshaft are stuffed. Id take it to someone to have a good look. Or you could climb underneith and check yourself.

    • If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice. 
    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
