hey i have a r33 gtst and i got a problem with my gearbox all my top gears (1st 3rd and 5th) dont stay in gear they just pop out. Has anyone had this problem or know whats wrong and how much to fix?

Hey mate, i had the same prob in my 33-

Basicaly not going to hurt your car but it will piss you off- something to do with the clips or someshit wearing them out that hold the top gears in place- Cost me near 2K to fix but that was replacing most parts in the box so basic full rebuild really.

Better to try getting a short shift kit see how that goes or buy a 2nd hand box.

should only pop out when you back off the throttle yeah?

Im under the impression that it happens a fair bit in 33's so unless you want to keep your car for a while i wouldnt bother getting it fixed. Thats my thoughts anyway.

Cheers.

thanks guys i went to a gearbox place and they said it should be just some screws that hold the top gears in. i took my gear stick out and drove it with out it and used a screwdriver to put it in 1st gear and see if it poped out but it didnt so i know its not my gearbox.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
