Is It Time For A New Transmission?

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

ok many a time when i put a little extra presure on my velocitator, say all the way in... and im flicking into the next gear, it catches and grinds the gears when trying to get into the next gear, YES i have the clutch all the way in and im not doing anything wrong, but im just thinking has the previous owner beat this tranny to shit? this happens rarely but makes me poo when it does.

someone tell me something!

Synchro's inside the box have seen better days, try a new oil, redline shockproof is good and may mask the problem, but also keep in mind that the box is getting tired and wont last forever.

[gfunkk]

yeah using good oil can sometimes stop the problem, try that first

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

awsome thanks guys

[bubba]

LOL @ velocitator

Thanks for that, needed a good chuckle

[Marco-R34GTT]

Damn...

I GET THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!

Big thanks! Might try some new oil as well...

[Sonuku]

as a guesstimate

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

ok guys update, i drained the oil and got some good motul oil, 40 bucks a bottle, hope it does the trick, thing is i used 3 bottles, and it didnt start tipping out of the fill up hole, how many litres are supposed to be used to fill up the gearbox?

[rev210]

gearbox oil needs changing just like engine oil (it does last longer). Why the hell do people wait till the syncro's a badly worn to change it?

[2LV8ETR]

how many litres are supposed to be used to fill up the gearbox?

2.5 litres.

[DaveGTS4]

i have same problem and i was told the skyline box takes about 3.5-4 litres

[Abo Bob]

2.5L. Smurfs blood is the best thing you can put in there. What exactly was this Motul stuff you put in?

A gearbox with 2-3 new synchros will cost about $1500 to rebuild which is what is required if the best oils don't help. That doesn't include remove and refit.
