TR33NT Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 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.

toddleR33 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 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.
