Could An Out Of Alignment Clutch Cause This?

Hi all,

My r33 gts-t is crunching second.I have replaced the oil with redline and its still doing it. Sometimes a little notchy into third as well. all other gears seem pretty ok although sometimes its a little nobby into 4th.

Anyway my clutch friction point is reasonably close to the floor. probably only 20% of the way up and it is completely engaged.

Could this cause my crunch problem? Is it worth me geting it adjusted and the system bled?

PS if I Shift out of first into Neutral then blip the throttle and then continue the shift it seems to not crunch, its just a pain!

Thanks

My car does this, ive got redline in there but it got better after 5000km and now it only does it if its a cold morning for the first minute (hardly does it at all now but)

I changed my clutch and it didnt not fix the problem but i never thought the alighment of the clutch would cause a crunch. Just worn syncros

How long has the Redline been in there?

redline has been in there for about 500ks now. certainly much better once it warms up, only does it occassionally once warm. In the morning if you double clutch it dosnt crunch but if you dont it will until warm. so this is a common problem, ill just ahve to be nice ;)

If the clutch is not 100% disengaged then it can cause crunching, and since you're friction point is close to the floor it could be happening, but you can probably tell by feel if it is or not. Check out the DIY section there's bound to be something on pedal adjustment and/or bleeding.

This redline stuff..

Is it ok to mix with stand box-oil ?

Im sure the box is 2L ..?

so if i mix 50/50 ... 1L of redline, and hte other with gearbox oil.. that ok ?

or would you get the full effect if it was 100% redline ? (that redline stuff is pricey !)

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
