5 Speed Rebuild

[Turbo Dan]

Does anyone know someone who does rebuilds on 5 speed gearbox for r33 gtst in QLD?

[markimak]

too exy.. always buy another for 1500

but ADD do and alot of other workshops do.if u got parts then i can. but i can refer u to luke at ADD he'll do it for u.

A brand new box for $1500 or s/h?

s/h you will most likely run into the same problems.

My gbox is effed and makes horrible crunch gears and feels lashy.

Pretty keen for a new one.

[gtrchick]

eh do it yourself.

I did mine a couple years ago, just purchase your synchro rings(baulk rings) for all gears or just second, third and fourth if youre on a tight budget (since these are the common gears that go). You will probably be better off doing main bearing and front and rear seals too.

Anyhow parts will probably cost you 300-500 depending on what you get. Then take it to gearbox shop and expect shitloads for labour (they are not easy to pull apart whatsoever). But on the upside, as good as new box for maybe a touch more than the second hand one.

no one said it was 1500 new.. 1500 in wreckers.. u can pull a box out on the kitchen floor!

Here's one I destroyed earlier!!!

Got into first, then second but third went BANG, then it sounded like I was draging a tailshaft under the car.

Got a s/h one and it's been good so far.......

Pull it apart in my carport, just need to buy long gear pullers and a ppg gearset or os gikken!

the insides: enjoy

This happened while I was in Bundaberg.

Changed gbox in front yard.

Pulled it apart in Syd.

LOL, I was waiting for someone to bring that up!!

I'll never use that oil again either.

After they put that in it was making a nice bearing whine noise that wasn't there before.

I now use castrol synthetic gear oil and castrol synthetic LSD oil, diff works like new!!!

Hmmm... whats better 2nd hand, or spending $1500 on reconditioning it..

[GTRsean]

reco it, and it should be like new....

Easier to buy s/h box and fit it though.

[gtrchick]

well i had that decision when my diff went whiny whiny whiny, and i figured its cheaper and keeps my mind at ease KNOWING that your gb has just got all new seals and synchros, and that its gonna hold, and sometimes you might be lucky enough to get warranty. Rather than having a 2nd hand gb which you are unsure about. go the rebuild alot safer

[SilverECR33]

ouch! nice shrapmil in there.

Ive only worked on a Aussie 4 speed. . Those boxes looks kool inside.

Id recommend on the Reco over a second handy also.

GTRsean car to mention the tools required for Open Heart surgury on the 5spd Box?

[GTRsean]

Where do I start!!!

Most are listed in the manual, need alot of drifts supposedly, to put bearings in etc.

spanners

extensions

Socket set

deepsocket set

breaker bar

pin punch set

decent circlip plier set

pitman arm puller

gear puller+ extendable one

Slide hammer to pull out shift rod bearings.(work had one)

rubber mallot

big hammer

A vice to mount the bloody thing on (don't have one yet)!

container and bag to put all the bits in.

clean parts in kerosene.

[SilverECR33]

ok i got a good idea of some of what some of that stuff is i need. but this one "pitman arm puller" has me stumped..

[NFAA32]

Pm dan from elite racing . i think his username is 3lit3_32

good bloke to deal with. and wont stuff you around.

my opinion is. if your not confident in doing it yourself. let him do it.

i was about 75% confident in being able to do it. but at the end of the day. i have more confidence in him and his warranty on workmanship

Not to get tooo off topic, but heres a good one of an old house mates gearbox when the smurfs blood tried to escape. Only problem was that it was a straight cut box that had been in for 2 weeks or so.

Nasty!!

Smurfs blood will always look for it's natural environment. It is futile to try and keep it contained in gboxes for too long.

Pitman arm puller is what is used to remove ball joints.

basically two or three adjustable arms with claws on the end and a threaded center bolt with tip.
