those clips are from the sliding hub that selects gears. 3rd and 4th are f**ked. box has to come out, remove the bell housing, remove the input shaft from the mainshaft and you will find that the sliding hub outside part will just fall off

On A 25 box, you can not get the input shaft off with out totaly stripping the box IE, removing reverse gear and overdrive. Once thaey are removed, the main shaft and cluster has to be pushed out of the centre plate at the same time. Then input shaft and 4th synchro will come away from the main shaft. You then need to remove a C clip on the main shaft to allow you to remove the 3rd and 4th synchro hub.

more info needed :P

Yep thats what Dave just confirmed... mine went in my standard box ages ago!!

Detent clip or something like that... the circled item in the nissan fast diagram is the right part you would need to get Dave has just said (32608+B) :banana:

i called nissan, they quoted me on 3 things for the 4th gear syncro

Baulk ring 4th $157.60

Syncroniser

Hub + keys $249.85

Sleeve $140.00

Front main shaft bearing $177

He also said i need this other bush or bearing or sumthing if im doing the front main shaft bearing for $56.83

i also called up a tranny guy i know and he told me he can swap the 4th gear syncro over relatively easily coz its apart of the input shaft, told me to just strip it down the gearset and bring it down and he will tell me exactly wats wrong, he said it could even be a worn bearing thats causing the syncro to move about etc

i hope this helps sumbody, i think ill just end up changing that 4th syncro, coz the rest of my box is perfect

Okay i sent a PM to turboedsloth because he seemed like he knew what the problem was from his post.

Not only did he give me the info i needed but he gave me pictures and instructions on how to strip the box.

Very nice guy indeed! So thankyou very much turboedsloth!!!

I have converted the pictures and will post them up now.

Now all we need is the part number for the clip / clips and we can start repairing our box's!!!!

Took me a while to copy all the files from the doc file to jpg files and add the info in the next post but its good to get this info on SAU and out there so this issue can be repaired by anyone in the future.

So thanks again Turbodsloth you are a champion!!!! (everyone needs to thank him if this has helped you)

Now all we need to do is confirm the part number. Maybe Dave can confirm this for us.

4. Remove front cover in bell housing and remove input shaft bearing ring and also very top circlip and spacer looking thing

post-1240-1255983086_thumb.jpg

5. Remove selector rod intent and spring, there is a ball behind it as pictured, it will more than likely fall into the case

6. Split the cases and your left with something like this. Remove the breather hose aswell

post-1240-1255983107_thumb.jpg

10. Remove circlip, retainer, split washer under retainer and bearing, place inline on bench

post-1240-1255983160_thumb.jpg

11. Remove cluster circlip and bearing

post-1240-1255983169_thumb.jpg

12. Remove reverse idler gear and brass washers, place together on bench

post-1240-1255983175_thumb.jpg

13. Use puller or hammer an drift (don’t be rough or it’ll break) and remove hub and gear

post-1240-1255983184_thumb.jpg

14. Use puller to remove 5th gear on cluster

15. Remove retaining plate

post-1240-1255983207_thumb.jpg

16. Use puller to remove bearing race, speedo gear and 5th gear

post-1240-1255983215_thumb.jpg

17. Once the gears are removed using a rubber mallet or copper hammer remove mainshaft and cluster out of centre plate. This will make both shafts fall out

post-1240-1255983224_thumb.jpg

18. Once the shafts are out you can get to 3rd and 4th gear selector hub where those clips you found in your oil originated from.

When you come to put the unit back together make sure there is a tiny bit of clearance between the selector rings and gears and also put a drop of ATF oil or thin gear oil on the surfaces.

Then its just a matter of following these photos on reverse. I like to put locktite on the retaining plate bolts and the selector rod bolt just in case.

This may be of some use

top work guys!

quick question though; is much further work needed to actually change the 4th gear syncro along with these clips ???

and sorry if i misssed it but do you guys have any part numbers yet for those clips?

cheers :blush:

once you've gotten it all apart and the input shaft has fallen off the front you'll find a c clip on the mainshaft, remove this and the whole selector hub should either fall off or it may need a tiny bit of pressure behind it to slide it off. Then its only a matter of marking the hub to make sure the slider is put back on the same way, remove the old clips, install new ones then put it all back together in the reverse of the instructions.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
