Maybe.

Wanted to ask the guy at the red light but just couldn't quiet get along side him :\

So, in other news:

I got my gearbox out tonight.

! hour 20 mins, including jacking car up, driveshaft, diff, and getting the box on the ground and out from under the car.

As it turns out....there might be nothing wrong at all with the box, the clutch on the other hand, farken LOL.

Heavy wear on the inside of the compound (10mm section on the inside has about 1.0-1.5mm more wear), the compound itself was shithouse...half the clutch just crumbled as soon as I pulled it off, and the flywheel has scorch marks all round.

So....maybe the crunchies was clutch engagement...since the box hasn't even been leaking oil.

Hahahah...ah....ha....eh.....gayest story of my life :(

Just wait for the next HSV they will try and squeze that motor in to keep up with everyone else.

I had something similar with my 1st 180, car wouldnt go into gear one minute, then fine the next, crunch gears etc, thinking its farked. Pulled the box out and all the clutch plate springs fell out.

I didnt install the clutch...I pulled it out of the halfcut, looked at it, still heaps of meat left on it so I just chucked the good gearbox on it and threw it into the Ceffy...Stock clutch, 126xxx kms...dare say it was the factory clutch ?

Doesnt matter, new flywheel and GTR clutch on now....

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
