Admin - please move to appropriate section if causing disruption but need some quick answers :)

Hi Guys,

i am no expert when it comes to this and i have no idea what i am even saying :)

i am purely replicating what a reputable gearbox place in sydney has told me. Apparently the cluster shaft has sheared off the end and it needs replacing as per pics.

I have contacted Auto gallery Japan with great frustration because of my lack of japanese and resources i have available. But they do not have this part available off the shelf and would need to make it up and can not give me a esitmated timeframe as to when it could be made by. Hence my question of getting this made locally. A engineer that the gearbox place uses was approached and got back to me with a quote in excess of $2000. I personally found this to be a bit rich and would like some opinions to this or advice as to some possible engineers i can deal with.

Just a debrief - car makes 340awkw and shifted nice with this box from 1st to 4th. However coming down the straight going into fifth at EC would always crunch. Got gearbox fully serviced and replaced 5th gear syncro. Upon shifting into 5th for the first time - it was like half a crunch. On lap 6 - 7Krpm and a slighty quicker shift saw the end of 5th gear and reverse.

All input would be greatly appreciated.

You could try Albins down here in Ballarat. Seeing they make gear boxes and custom parts. They should be able to knock one up OK for a price.

And I'm tempted to say put a standard box in it at that power level.

Agreed - most of the quick tracked vic GTR's with that sort of power level (and more!) use the std box.

Good luck with the hunt!

You could also try PAR

http://www.par-engineering.com/

Have not heard much good things about them - but will speak to them

Also i am currently running a standard box with no problems whatsoever, but having the luxury of the closer gear ratio and piece of mind that from 1st-4th gear i could throw it in. Its definately something i would like to get back into the car. From the reviews i hear and have looked at the Japs rate this box highly :(

Ok, I know nothing about this box you have, so can't offer any more info for you sorry (pretty sure I met you at Eastern Creek a couple of wednesdays ago?).

I do know someone who's just removed a perfectly working and quite fresh PPG dog box if you change your mind.

Hey there,

are you the owner of the Envy imports 34? or the one behind it? from memory - either or, both sweet rides :D

is the PPG box helical or straight cut? if you could pm me the asking price this would be great!

Cheers

Mate , just wanted to know if you ever got the auto gallery 690 box fixed ..Was looking into options other than just the OS or PPG option.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
