Hi folks, im new here, and trying solve a problem. doing auto to manual gearbox conversion on R33 '96 rb25 GTS. I have installed already clutch pedal, clutch system with clutch , and half installed gearbox. ( I doing it on my yard, car is on jacks). I cant manage gearbox go in to it properly . Gearbox is stuck, i mean i cant push gearbox shaft in to clutch, and there is no room to manage that gearbox. What is the proper way to install that ? maybe have to turn kind way, or what. And do i have to remove exhaust ?

Cheers

Maris

have you used a clutch alignment tool to centre the clutch in the middle of the flywheel ? or else it will not go into the splines, also try putting it in gear and using the tail shaft to turn it over to help you line it up

cheers.

also - while we are asking these questions, did you put a spigot bish in the end of the crank? I think there is either no bush or some sort of steel bush in auto cranks.

as well as that and clutch aligning tool, you need to make sure the engine and gearbox are at the same angle/tilt. then they pretty much pop right in

the auto's do have a different bush in the end of the crank compaired to the manual so youll have to look at that 1st then just turn the gear on its side so the starter moter bulge doesnt hit the tunnel then once in jsut rotate to box back around

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
