4th Gear Crunch

My gearbox seems really 'notchy' and especially when I shift to 4th it always crunches when I'm going fast. If I just put around it's fine but if I go from 80km - 100-110 in 3rd into forth it'll crunch. Even sometimes at lower speeds. The same happens if I'm downshifting to 4th at those speeds also, so I find myself going from 3rd to 5th which I hate.

What does this mean? The gearbox is on the way out? I have no idea.

edit: it's an r33gst-t s2 std box and clutch afaik.

The problem will be worn sinchro's more than likley not the actual synchro itself but the face of the shoulder that the sinchro seats on. It is common for the face to glaze up wich can be a reasonably simple fix as quite often the face can just be lapped with some lapping paste (the same as you would lap in valves in a cylinder head) and the problem will be fixed any decent gearbox shop should be able to do this for around the $600-800 dollar range.

4th gear is a common issue, there is a set of clips under the gear that snap and cause crunching there after.

Either way the gearbox will need to be rebuild by someone who really knows what their doing.

yea when this happens the beginning of the end is nigh for your gearbox, if u dont wanna fork out for a recondition straight away then at the very least change the oil to redline shockproof gear oil clicky. a lot of people are finding this stops the crunching. but wont do so forever as wear on your gearbox progresses

i would say its the synchro though, all gearboxes are the same, if it can change at lower rpm without crunching, and at high rpm it crunches, then tis the synchro and not the clips

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
