Auto Box Gone?

hey guys, im driving a r33 series 2 auto lately as i hardly touch my clubby. last night when i was driving it something seemed wierd. it was revving 4000rpm the whole time when i pulled over stopped the engine and started it again. same thing happened.

since ive owned the car i have never used the 1st, 2nd gear as ive always put into d (drive). however the whole night and today as i took it for another test drive it seems 3rd and 4th gear not kicking in no matter what i do. i rang up a few places and they said as i have assumed the gearbox was gone.

i was thinking about buying an evo7 a month ago but now that this happened i cant really sell it. the question is should i go on changing it to a manual then sell or just stick and replace another box. i will be drving it for a while after this is fixed.

just want to see any opinions on this and how much roughly would a auto trans gearbox etc fitted would cost compared to manual?

regards richard.

may i also add that ive noticed something wrong with the transmission about 2 weeks ago when i stopped at lights when accelerated it revved to 4500rpm but didnt go anywhere then suddenly jerked forward. so im guessing its time for the gearbox to go.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
