Gearbox Or Clutch Issue?

I have a really annoying problem with my r33 gts-t here's whats been done recently and what the issue is

If i shift into 2nd from 3000RPM to redline it crunches/grinds

If i shift to quickly from 2nd to 3rd it crunches/grinds (i need to go from 2nd to neutral then to 3rd to stop it)

Now heres the strange thing, If im cruising along say in 4th at 4000RPM then put my foot on the clutch and rev the car it makes a horrible grinding sound like the gears arnt engaged properly, it will only make this horrible sound while the engine is spinning at 3500-4000RPM or more and i press the clutch and rev it

If its in 4th at 4000RPM and i let the car slow down enough so when i release the clutch it should be doing 2500RPM then rev it with the clutch pressed it doesnt happen.

So in other words in any gear if the engine and gearbox input shaft are spinning at 4000RPM then i press the clutch and rev it i get this horrible sound (the pitch of the noise changes with revs)

These problems only started happening after i replaced the engine and clutch with an exedy HD clutch, turns out the engine i brought must have been an auto (had a flex plate bolted to it) I had no problems before i replaced the engine and clutch,

Today i pulled the gearbox out hoping to see some sign of this horrible grinding sound but everything looked fine, i lubed up the fork pivot realigned the clutch replaced the throw out bearing and replacing the gearbox oil with a semi syn 75w/90 grade oil. I did notice a little up/down play in the input shaft and some slight forwards/backwards play

The clutch starts grabbing half way up the pedal travel so it certainly seems to be disengaging properly

Well, after a little more research/searching iv narrowed it down to being the fact that i havnt put a manual spigot bush in pinch.gif

Iv done just over 1000kms without one in i hope the input shaft bearing is still ok

To all those who may care,

The symptoms i explained in my first post were all caused by having no spigot bush, i now have one installed and all is good back to the way it should be no more crunching or horrible noises

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
