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....

    • That may or may not be me that replied 😅
    • Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
