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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
