hey,

car is now going. Changing gears is some what tempromental. I change gears, and get crunching. Could this be due to gearbox not having right oil in it.

i have used some castrol 75 W 90 W gearbox oil.

am a bit worried it could be stuffed, with a synchrose, but the gearstick does flow into each gear pretty easily.

any thoughts. or recommendations....

how much oil did you put in? because i was having the same problem....but mostly going from 1st-2nd...

its really important to only fill till it spills out from the filler on a FLAT surface...cause first time i changed mine i didnt lower it back down to get rid of excess...

did that last weekend and i had about 400ml too much and now it shifts heaps better....

im kinda having a little of the same problem too.. when i first take my car out in the morning when i go from 1st to 2nd, 2nd feels really tight but after about about 5 minutes of driving it loosens up and goes normal. what up with that huh. also sumtimes when your driving kinda normal and in 3rd changing into 4th it wants to jump out of 3rd while your changing..kinda like it cant wait to get in 4th.. what do you stooj`s reckon

Its got to do with the viscosity rate of the oil.When the oil is cold,its thicker which makes it hard to change gear but when it warms up,it thins out and gear change is easier.I know its expensive but try fully synthetic g/box oil.problems will be fixed.

I just did the gearbox oil on my R32.

I bought REDLINE lightweight Shockproof.

It's excellent.. I can't recommend it enough.

my second gear use to crunch but now it doesn't do it at all.

anyway, that stuff sells for $25 per litre.

I just bought the 3.78L bottle, $100.

The R32 GTST gear box takes 2.8L for those who are interested.

I know $100 sounds expensive at first, but when you consider that you change your oil every 5000kms and if you are using like MOBIL 1 synthetic, it costs you at least $50 each time.

how often do you change the gearbox oil?

It's a very good investment...

I found my one from Croydon Racing Development (or whatever they are called now...in silverwater, sydney)

i bleed the clutch lines again. and the brass button feels a lot better....

But then the clutch pedal welds snapped. So the metal casing which bolts up to the car makes the pedal stick behind the brake pedal.

was lucky i was only 2 minutes from home when it happened.

i am gonna do the gearbox oil again...

Does the clutch grab right at the floor ? does it feel like the clutch is not disengageing proply?

This happend to my car when i converted it to manual too.. my mate made me a adjuster that works a treat. he will sell one to you for a price. pm me if interested

It fixed mine RIGHT UP i was stoaked!!! now i gotta fix 4th and 5th gear syncro in box ;)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
