Help Me

[Rinse It]

Hey all,

I've got a R32 GTR and just had my HKS Twin Plate clutch rebuilt and installed.

Picked up the car last night... go to take off and the clutch's pick up point is right on the floor... like I move my foot a millimetre and can feel the gears engaging.

OK, that's shit... but I can get used to that.

The gears were much tighter but the whole transmission seemed pretty smooth right at first.

As I'm driving it home (driving it easy and not loading up the clutch at all due to the bedding in period), it seems as though as the car is getting hotter the synchro or hydraulics or something is having issues.

First it started not going into 1st gear, so I'd have to put it in 2nd and then shift straight to first... I thought, weird, as the box has never done that before.

Then it started to feel like I was running out of pedal and would have the clutch all the way in but I could tell it wasn't fully disengaging the gears and the revs would drop down due to there still being some contact.

Then on up-shifts into 4th, I could feel the gears hitting and not meshing properly.

Then this started happening in almost every up-shift and was a rough hit of the gears on the way in due to the lack of meshing and sometime would just mash and not go in.

Then the pedal got even lower and I couldn't get it out of gear without slamming it out and there was no way of getting it back into gear (tried all 6 and it was just mash mash mashing - praying I didn't do damage to the box as I was getting a little frantic at this point).

Turned it off, let it cool down, and then I could get it into gear again. Not very easily though.

But, drove it to work this morning and I had to double clutch on every down-shift to get it into gear without mashing, and by the time I got to work, even with double clutching, I could barely get it into first!

Please help...?!

I'm destroying my gearbox at this rate (going straight back to the shop tomorrow morning), but I really hope not too much damage has happened so far...?!

hi mate, i had the same problem with an older car i had, the friction point slowly moves closer and closer to the floor.

turned out to be my slave cylinder had a hole in the seal and wasnt holding enough pressure for the clutch to disengage.

had to rebuild the slave cylinder only cost about 30$ for the kit, and took about an hr from bonnet up to bonnet down

however it could also be the master cylinder,

or even the mechanic just didnt bleed in the clutch proply when he put it in.

has the tell tail signs of hydraulic failure. bleed the system. if it is not cured. do what he said ^^^^^^
