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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
