long story short i bought my r31 and it needed a new gearbox and thrust bearing i got them changed and lately something hasnt been going right. it all started when i would shift into 2nd gear to easy without finding the gap it would just go in when i put it towards 2nd and lately when iv been holding the clutch in theres been a rattle noise as im letting it go and in gear. the worst is when im in reverse and im playing with the clutch so i dont stall it. Also the clutch feels soft so the only thing i can think of right now is that the clutch wasnt aligned correctly when they fixed my thrust bearing. also to add with the shifting of gearboxes its like impossible to get into reverse without the gears crunching a lil and the box is a recod box so it shouldn't have any problems at all. does anyone have a clue what the problem is?

If the clutch isn't aligned correctly, the gearbox won't go on.

You have oil in the gearbox? (don't flame me for that, I know it's been done before)

The clutch master has fluid? Been bled properly?

I assume thats all been done when i got the gbox replaced and the clutch fluid was changed on my service now if it was done properly i have no clue.

I was thinking that it might be my clutch master but im not 2 sure.

Someone has told me it might be my link pin thats short

tried adjusting the clutch? there is an adjustment on the pushrod where the pedal goes to the master cylinder, loosen the nut and wind the pushrod into the master a little then tighten the nut. dont over adjust it but. or the clutch might slip.

as long as there is a little freeplay on the pedal it will be sweet

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
