Just bumping this to see if anyone has gotten their manualised transmissions working yet. Im curious about how the stock shifter works, vs a B&M style one. The vids Ive seen of the B&M in action seem to show that gears 1-4 are selected similar to a sequential. Also curious how the lockup clutch functions in day to day usage.

eg, what happens when you change gears with the lockup clutch engaged? Is there any safety trip to unlock it before the transmission changes gears? Are there any safety trips for disengaging the clutch below certain speeds or engine rpms?

Mine is 1 2 3 on the shifter 4th on a switch and the lockup clutch only for 4th on the highway off another switch. I only use the clutch when the trans temp starts to climb.

I plan on selling mine very soon if anyone here actually wants to buy one :P

Has been running at various power (300-420kw thorugh the auto) for years.
The 34 box can take it, but mine was a 10k exercise to do it right, make it streetable, retain steering wheel buttons, tune for regular driving/sport driving etc.

Hey mate, noticed this post is just over a year old, did you end up selling your auto box? I’m looking at finding one atm?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
