Hi everyone, recently got my clutch replaced and my fly wheel machined and when i go in either reverse or first gear and try to move the car shakes quite badly.

I found this youtube vid which is pretty much the problem im experiencing.

Wondering if anyone here knows what the problem is

Thanks!

My mechanic told me its the actual gearbox? Is there a chance it could be that given these symptoms? Pretty much 3,4,5 gears are 100% normal and only getting the car to move from stationary creates this problem

You may have bent the boxes input shaft when removing or fitting the box.

Your not supposed to let the box hang on the engine when slightly out, all the boxes weight is then on the input shaft which can bend it.

Was the clutch pressure plate tightened evenly in a criss cross fashion? You can also bend the pressure plate cover which can do the same thing.

Last thing was all the protective oil coating removed from the pressure plate and flywheel cleaned? No grease put on the input shaft or thrust bearing that can get flung onto the clutch plate?

Yeah im not too sure as the mechanic did the work. I will have to ask and double check. I just didnt want another major repair so wanted to double check with anyone here.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
