Hi all,

I have done a few searches but not found much info.

My gearbox has developed a knock. You cant hear it when driving & the gearbox still feels good, no crunches or anything.

You hear the knocking when parked in neutral with the clutch out, if you push the clutch in the noise stops. Its not always there, just sometimes, if I park it & the noise is there after turning it off the next time I start it up its gone.

I cant tell if it knocks with engine speed, I cant hear the knock over the exhaust with a little bit of throttle.

Does anyone know what it could be? should I drop the oil? its only a few months old.

Thanks in advance.

Are you able to get it up on a hoist and have the car running in neutral, inspect the operation of the clutch fork? The noise is probably still there while driving just can't hear it.

I'd say the gearbox is fine and you are probably having an issue with the fork or something clutch related as you mentioned the issue is due to operation of the clutch.

Anyway to fix the problem you will have to remove the box so best to run fresh oil anyway once you know the problem is fixed.

Best to get under there and check it out, could be another component causing the noise and intermittent occurrence does not help.

it's either clutch or gearbox input shaft. Changing the gearbox oil is a good idea if you can't remember when it was last done, but probably will not change the noise. Could just be a noisy throwout bearing on the clutch which really doesn't matter unless it is quite a loud noise. If it's only a soft noise like you describe it is OK to ignore it until the clutch wears out (or until the noise gets worse).

I think you can check for throwout bearing by putting slight pressure on the clutch and seeing if the noise disappears.

Thanks for the reply.

Next time it makes the noise I will put slight pressure on the clutch.

Is the idea that the gearbox is still turning with only a little pressure on the clutch & if the noise goes away that rules out the gearbox?

Not really. Throwout bearings make the most noise when they're unloaded. Load them up slightly and they shut up, unless they're well gone.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
