Hey all,

I've had my skyline r33 s2 for a while now, and just recently it seems the transmission isn't using the gears it should be. Eg. when taking off it tends to go in 2nd gear rather than 1st, and sometimes it just seems to rev higher but doesn't engage the right gear...

Anyone know what this might be?

ALSO i have considered to put a shift kit in soon, would this aid to fix the problem by any chance?

Also what stage shift kit do you recommend? (It's an everyday driven car)

Cheers in advance!

go a stage 2 like i did and when you get it back and go for a drive you will be like "This is f*kn Mad hey".

honestly best bang for bucks and you will really notice the difference no more sliding into gear and you will get 2nd to 3rd gear chirps from a auto depending on your power level.

i loved it straight away $400 bucks you cant go wrong.

give mike a call at m.v automatics for any questions like the bloke above suggested.

Cheers for the advice!

Ive tried someone more local but will be putting shift kit into it once they have a look at it.

Hope i'm not looking at a rebuild, the gearbox has about 80,000kms and seemed fine before a week ago..

just curious, whats a stage 2 kit? whats it consist of?

Hey mate i had my auto re built by steve buchard, all the gear in it with a full manual valve body, and he guaranteed it for 950hp its the bees knees wouldnt look back. it cost $2800

quite the opposite. the slower softer shift of the stock gearbox are actually slipping the clutches on purpose for "comfort". slipping clutch = friction = heat = dead gear box. with a shift kit and tranny cooler your box will last longer

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
