Hi All

I have a feeling my throwout bearing on my 90 GTR has gone.

Its making a strange noise when being launched, if I even attempt to slip the clutch it sounds like a giant dragging concrete along on the ground.

It can be heard here:

just as the car launchs

I think its the throwout bearing. How do I fix it? Whats required to get the gearbox off? Is it back-yardable at all or would I be better off saving up until I can afford to pay a workshop to do it?

Regards

Ian

if you want to take the gearbox out in the backyard - you're gonna need stands on all 4 corners up as high as possible as well as a sturdy trolley jack to take the weight of the gearbox.

Oh and a second person for sure!!

Good 2-3 hour job, but do-able.

edit: that's for a gtst - no idea how much harder it is for a GTR...

that noise does not sound like throw out to me more of a gearbox noise excessive play quite posiably. if there is a there is a throw out noise best way to test. is have car idling turn off music or what ever u may have going. and listen for any noise's then put your foot on the clutch and hear if any of the noise's go away. foot off the clutch (does it come back)? if so throw out noise lots of cars have some form of throw out noise

My cefiro has the noise above and it could be the input shaft bearing i have been told.

Either that or it is a sub shaft..or something. Does it do this in 4th gear?

true it could also be the input shaft bearing

to be honest, it sound to me like a twinplate. its more than likely just the plates chattering a bit. ive heard/driven many that do it. most of the time its while after the new clutch has bedded in.

Cheers

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
