Hey guys,

As above, when changing from Drive to Reverse and vice versa, the car jerks, also when driving the car it doesn't change gears smoothly, it does a little jerk.

When I went to pickup my spare key from Nissan, I asked the Mechanic and he said the timing belt was probably spinning too fast, but doing some research online, most seem to say it's either the Transmission Fluid or bad gearbox (Which I am dreading).

I was just going to wait until the next service, but thought I would ask you guys first.

Cheers

Hey guys, sorry for the late response, I checked it before, while the engine was running, and warmed up and on a level surface, it seems to be between the highest hump on the stick and the top of the crosshatches, so it's a little over, but I noticed every time I pull it out, there are little bubbles on it?

Also what color should it be, it looks darkish.

EDIT:

Would having too much fluid cause the transmission to slip?

I read if there is too much it will cause the fluid to foam up?

There aren't many bubbles on the dipstick, like 1-4 little ones, but it could still mean the fluid is foaming up yea?

Ok, I think there is definitely too much transmission oil, I let the car sit out side for a good 3 hours before, engine was cold to the touch, took the dipstick out and it was nowhere between or on the crosshatching, it goes way past it on the cold side and even the hot side, where the crosshatching is further up.<br><br>But would this cause the transmission to slip/make the car jerk?

What was the verdict?

Was going to make a post about it before, but didn't think anyone was interested, so didn't bother.

But anyway, I went to a few places, was a bit odd, 1 said it was perfect, just on the line and the other said it was a little bit over, they did recommend me to get it serviced as the fluid looked pretty dark (Should be Pink to almost clear), so I will drop it off this week sometime to get it flushed. Hope it fixes the problem, but not going to get my hopes up. :(

Will report back later this week?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
