Hi SA,

This problem seemed to appear completely out of the blue. I recently had a jwt clutch and flywheel installed on my 03 v35, and everything was working alright until this afternoon. I was driving the car normally and then I noticed the gears seemed harder and harder to get into. To the point where I pulled over and bam! While running the car wouldn't go into gear at all.

While waiting for a friend to pick me up, I tried it starting it up and putting it into gear again, and it worked perfectly. So I drove it home and noticed the gradual degredation in the gear changes. It seems like when the car gets hot it refuses to go into gear.

Please help me out guys!

I popped the bonnet and checked the fluids, they're right under the "max" level marking.

you have to go under and look at the transmission to see it, and then unscrew the drivers side upper Allen key bolt hole and if oil comes out right away your good, if not then your low.

This is your trans, and the drain hole

This is the fill hole (shown on left side but its really on our right side)

I would suggest the seals are going in the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder.

I had the exact same symptoms - would be fine when cool then gradually get worse as the fluid heats up and thins out which allowed fluid to blow past the seals to the point where no gear can be engaged.

Problem could have been waiting to happen, just brought on by the heavier clutch.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
