Hey Guys Im Having Trouble With The Gearbox

[Wikigod]

Hey guys i recently bought a skyline R33 GTS-T and since ive received it ive had trouble with the clutch\gearbox its like the clutch pedal isnt going far enough because unless i have it in neutral its starts to roll slightly forward (uphills and flat's) and feels like im letting out the clutch out but its FLAT to the floor, by flat i mean hard up against firewall or whatever it hits against and its super hard to push but it might have a heavy duty clutch or something like that im not too sure

So guys any help fixing my problem is appreciated

Cheers guys

Sounds exactly like one of the symptoms I was having. Is your clutch getting stuck? Is it hard to get into gears? You could try adjusting the pushrod to be longer, thus giving it more push on the clutch. My master failed. Finally fixed it today. The spring in the old master was broken and it would cause the clutch to either disengage poorly or not at all.

OOOoooo im going to have to give that a try extending the pushrod nah but my clutch isnt getting stuck, but yeah its a coont to get into gears but if i extend the pushrod it might kill my slave cylinder i did it before when i was doing an engine conversion on a ke30 corolla but i will have to give it a try and see how i go

Thanx man

Hey sarge i just went out then and the push rod is fully extended im how complex is the clutch hydraulics? is it just a slave and a master?

Ok so i was cruising along the northern road and i couldnt change it down so i pushed 4th and got unto the great western and because it was empty i was able to get across the lanes and into residential area YAY so now i got it towed home because it just wont engage the clutch so what could it be just before it died i bled the shiz out of it so i think that pushed the master cylinder over the edge so im going to get one soon and see how it goes i will keep you guys updated

You've got fluid in the clutch reservoir? (yes, stupid question, I know, but I know a case of someone whose car stopped, and he swore it had fuel in the tank, which it didn't!).

Is the clutch pedal sitting at the correct height when the pedal is up (should be close to the same height as the brake pedal)?

Hey man yeah bled it yesterday and something went and how its not going into gear at all lol poor me but like sarge said his pedal was sticking back (like its fully depressed)

im gonna have a look at changing the master cylinder is there a faq or tech piece on it?

Thanx blind elk

Maybe your pedal box is broken, like http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fy...Ge-t332290.html

Nah man i dont think it is but ill take the cluster out and have a look from above is the broken weld's common?

[defari]

ive got the same problem... even with the clutch fully pressed in (up to the firewall) i can feel it slightly engaging..

bled the slave/master but it didnt help.. havent had time to do anything more to it.

let me know if you find the problem

dohc - mate got no idea what that problem would be - mine doesnt "pop" out of gears like you have mentioned.

hey there..newbie here.. what do you mean by "syncro's" = synchronize? if it needs replacement will it cost me too much? will it take days to do? tnx..

Dunno man never had to do them but its defiantly a mechanics job just take it down and get a quote and when they tell you the price take it home and start saving =)
