This must be a common thing on 'line boxes....

had my clutch replaced when i bought the car, so unsure if it did it before that, but the stick just catches a little as you throw through ffrom 2/3 and 3/4 - seems funny that my box should go, as it's on an NA 2litre - bought with little mods, so unlikely to be raced much.

So im thinkin that maybe all our gear boxes must just be wearing - maybe synchros not aligning properly ? ive done 195k if that means anything.... how bout you guys, lot of kays ?

yeah, worn synchros = quite common, chuck in redline lightweight oil and the problem magically disappears :rofl:

as Duncan mentioned this is a common occurance with these boxes and your not the only one to have this problem.

Just get some high quality Gearbox oil and it'll gradually get better. Redline Shockproof Lightweight is the best stuff to use IMHO.

This is pretty much how it goes, if Redline Shockproof can’t fix your synchro problems then you will have trouble finding something that will IMHO… apart from getting the synchros replaced / gearbox re-built. Its your best (relatively cheap) bet to fix this problem.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
