I Blew The Sh;t Out Of My Gear Box Help!

[Italiazr1]

well i always though my gearbox was on the way out

but i kinda sorta missed second gear and got a bit of a crunch out of it and then it kinda went:

bang grind grind grind clunck crack....

not really in that order but yeah ive now got no second gear............. oops.

i can hear the pieces rattling round in there but all other gears work ok

Any suggestions? ive got the r32 gtst 2.0lt 260 rwkw

is the 32 gtr box any good and does it fit up to the 2.0lt easily with out too much expense?

also anyone ever done a six speed box from a 34 to a 32? i would love an extra gear while im at it.

man im bleeding about this my credit card is already maxed out

just chuck another rb20 box in untill u can afford rb25 box much more exe and much stronger and bigger

u will need to do g box mount new tail shaft and speedo drive with 25 box

so save ur pennies

ive just been quoted $2550 from type M imports

for a Gtr box totaly reconditioned and converted for the rb20

Supplied and fitted drive in drive out. with tail shaft done too

Does that sound ok for price?

Just put another RB20 box in...

Should be able to pick one up for a couple of hundred, spend a weekend with a mate under the car. All done.

33 box would be easier than a gtr box. with a gtr box you have to get rid of the transfew case and cover up the hole

If you can find a RB20 box from a std car you should be able to get some decent life out of it. Use god oil and shift sensibly and they can last a long time. My box has 195,000kms on it and is still alive as mostly refrain from heavy shifting

But if the dollars are there then any RB25 / GTR gearbox install is going to cost at least $2500 including box so the quote seems fair, if not borderline pretty cheap

[bubba]

Cost me nearly 2.5k just in parts to put a 25t box in, and a GTR box is pretty much the same as a 25t box but they cut the transfer case off. Good price but I guess that's probably because GTR boxes can be had for a lot cheaper.

[battery]

excluding the cost of the gbox what will it cost in parts for the tailshaft etc

is it worth rebuilding an rb20 box? what does it cost?

[Italiazr1]

im going to make a few more phone calls on monday

ive got a mate that can get me a gtr box or rb25 box second hand from an importer for $1100

i want to be able to shift fast and hard sometimes thats the whole point of my car

and thats how i broke this one. i get excited sometimes

so rb20 box is out of the question

the gtr box is reconditioned with a conversion to fit up to the rb20 and he wants $1750 for just the box and he will fit it for $2550 complete
