Hey guys my fourth gear synchro was worn. So i switched from motul ff lsd type 2 to redline shock proof. It stopped 4th gear crunching but now 2nd and 3rd are notchy and can crunch. When i drained the motul only 2.9l came out and when i filled it with shock proof i could fit 3.7l approx.

Id rather just have one shit gear and The motul was only 5000ks old and ive kept it and am wondering whether to get another litre and throw it back in. I will eventually get a rebuild but it is giving me the shits atm.

Besides a worn box could it be anything else eg clutch alignment, overfull/underfilled gearbox, shifter seems okay, rubber boot on end of shifter is fine etc.

All advice much appreciated.

Give the shockproof some time in the box before you get all upset about it. And moderate your driving style (seriously) so that you minimise 2nd and 3rd issues while you give that time.

I bought an R33 box to put into my R32. Was supposed to be in good nick, but when first started up, we could not select any gears at all. Dropped the normal (new) gear oil for shockproof, and instantly able to select all gears. Wasn't wonderful, and still isn't perfect, but it is getting better with time.

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit.

      Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.

      R32 only blows hot air

      The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
