Clutch/gearbox Problem

I have a problem and I'll set the scene... ok I won't, but there are 3 very distinct things I've noticed.

1 - When I'm coming to a stop, I have my car in second gear, clutch goes in, I go to change and the gear is stuck in second and the car still wants to go forwards.....sometimes if I'm stationary for long enough, it'll snap out of it and go back to normal "in neutral" idle. This won't happen all the time anymore, just on occasions, if I'm lucky.

2 - There is a noice when i have the clutch in sometimes, really grinding.. like the usual trust bearing noise, just a hell of alot louder

3 - Sometimes, when I'm hearing this bearing noise I de-press the clutch pedal and let it out again and the clutch makes a screach and jolts back.

I've had it bled properly, I don't think it's leaking as the fluid level isn't dropping (well i noticed it extremely low one day but i think that's because it wasn't topped up).

Also - I just had another engine swap and these problems have been there since i got the car back, not sure if that helps, but I think it's worth noting anyway!

Help me?

sounds like fked pressure plate to me. maybe a bent 'finger' or two.

that will cause the gear selction problems, and can make a noise where it meets the release bearing. and i've found that when the pressure plate is knackered sometimes it will be ok, sometimes it wont so that matches with the inconsisten problem.

the bottom line is the only way to find out for sure is whip the box off and see what's up, which you'll have to do anyway to fix it, so my advice is get that box off.

well it can be an installation problem, but most often they just fail. once the things been pushed in and out so many times they weaken and break. it can happen and 80% of the time the clutch feels fine, then you'll hear a little noise and all of a sudden the pedal feels really light and it's hard to select gears. then later it may go back to normal again.

the main point is that sadly whether it's a collapsed release bearing (also possible), bent fork (highly possible), stuffed fingers/cover (also possible) or even a broken clutch plate you have to take the box off and examine it. so no matter what the problem the process is the same which is a good thing. :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
