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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
