Fixed my gearbox. as suspected the clips were in the oil.

We did not have to remove any of the gears, we were able to put the clips into the box without removing the hub! box is changing well now.

Also if you keep driving the box like this you will wear out the selector fork that moves the gears, i had to change to the spare one because this one was flogged out so if you have this problem you should fix it ASAP.

very possible. also this crunch sounds different to a propper syncro crunch. a proper syncro crunch is very excessive and harsh where this is more of a notchy mini crunch as the gears are being selected.

i have and there wer no clips, but thats not to say the last owner found the clips before hand...

hmm, well mine is very extended, not just a quick tap tap of the gears hitting inside the box, its more of a bzzzzzzzzzt on the rare occasion of shifting into 4th, usualy when giving it a bit more gas, i drove to work today with no crunches, and the box felt good, but sometimes theres a quick bzzzzzzzzt when shifting to 4th on the rare occasion.

i have only ever played with twin countershaft g/boxs was just about to attempt my syncros on my rb25 box.

just wondering if the timeing is still the same with the mark on the front counterahft drive gear (5th) and how or if the countershaft is shimmed up?

i havent looked at a manual or anything on light commertial g/boxes

i have found one of these clips in my oil recently after my gearbox got stuck in 4th. Had to pull box out as it refused to come out of gear. once we got it on the ground out of the car it slipped out of gear and has been fine since we put it back in the car. I never use 4th tho as its a drift car and only see's 2nd and 3rd.

Reason it got stuck in 4th was i was loading it onto trailer and the shifter felt weird and stiff, i just pulled it into gear to see what was going on and it got stuck there.

Should i put this fix on the urgent list?

Hey all, digging up this thread as I'm now having this problem after tracking the car.

Fixed my gearbox. as suspected the clips were in the oil.

We did not have to remove any of the gears, we were able to put the clips into the box without removing the hub! box is changing well now.

Also if you keep driving the box like this you will wear out the selector fork that moves the gears, i had to change to the spare one because this one was flogged out so if you have this problem you should fix it ASAP.

Can you post some pictures how you did this without changing the hub mate?

And is 36209-70L20 the right part number for these? And should I order 3 from nissan?

Cheers

Amir

Hi do you have any tip on how to remove the 5th gear bushing? In the service manual its a pic of som sort of cylinder tool with 3 bolts to use along with a puller. That special bushing tool seems to be very rare

I made a plate up that sits under the centre plate, and a jig that presses on both mainshaft and cluster. I made a tool to pull the bush off but its a shrink fit and is really tight. The press works heaps better

Okej will try make some special jig like that. Or do you even need to remove the bush to be able to change all sync rings? Looking at the pictures on this thread it looks like he just knocked the main shaft out of the center plate without removing the Bush on the sub shaft

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
