Help With R33 Tail Light Leak

[EARMUFF]

I need sum help plz. How do you fix a leak on the tail light of the R33?? Any help would be appreciated. Also, everytime I change into 5th gear, I get a slight grind. What causes this?

dont know about the leak but the gear thing could be syncros. i read about it on here before. happens to me (common with 33s apparently) i get it when i shift down to quickly fron 5th to 4th.

when my car is cold that sometimes happens to me when i shift from 1st to seccond. Pretty annoying.

Pretty easy to follow... I've done it myself

you need to put some of that sealant on the tail light...put as much as you can so that even the titanic wont be able to sink....

It happens from 4th to fifth at higher speeds. (over 80Kmph). If I hit the clutch and let the revs drop a bit, it doesnt do it. Thanks for the light tip. I pikd tha car up last week, and found the boot with a puddle when i removed the mat.

yeah if you dont shift really quick and let the syncros match up with a more easier shift, then the shift should be quiet and clean, thats what i do from 5th to 4th anyway and theres no crunch. it doesnt bother me too much but im sure someone knows or can point you in the right direction of fixing it.

also make sure you got all that water out. dont want rust building and even mold
