Hey Guys,

I'm new to this site so i apologise in advance for any mishaps. I have an R33 Series 1, recently my auto box has had problems changing out of first gear. It will just rev out through the gear and not change in to second. When i take my foot off the throttle it just stalls.

When i restart the car it will work fine for a while, then after waiting at lights for instants, the problem happens over again. Its at the point now i am replacing the box with a new second hand one.

I am currently running 300 HP at the rears on standard fuel, I am wondering what the max handling is of the gearbox? Is my power currently to high for the gearbox to handle and is it going to continue to blow box's, or would the problem have just been it was old and tired and required replacing?

Can anyone help me out? Feedback much appreciated :)

Cheers,

Glenn

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
