Need a mechanic for gearbox

[Babylon]

Hey Guys

Im having Issues with my Skyline , when im in high rev's and i put my car from 3rd to 4th gear it crunches or from 5th to 4th so basically my 4th gear is rooted.

Anyways i need a honest mechanic that does repairs on gear boxes

Western Suburbs area would be convenient.

If anyone knows of a mechanic it would be greatly appreciated if you could forward their details

Thanks :Oops:

before you do that, what Gear Oil are you using?

[Babylon]

Ive never put gear oil in there ive owned the car 4 around 3 months

i bought it from japan so really dont know what kind the previous owner used

u think that could be the problem?

coz if that was the case why only gear 4

[Tosh]

you'd be best to change the gear oil before you decide to fork out the cash for replacement gears and synchro's.

change it to Redline Lightweight Shockproof and you should notice a big difference

Step 1: Change your gearbox oil, replacing it with Redline shockproof.

You may well find this solves your problem.

but i just dont understand why its only happening in Gear 4

just wondering where i can get Redline Lightweight Shockproof from?

happens to a lot of the Skyline boxes (different gears not just 4th). Mine struggles to get into 1st when stationary but other than that it's fine.

you can get redline shockproof from Unique Autosports http://www.nismo.com.au/

I had the same problem in my R33 GTSt.

It got pretty bad one night at a street meet. Every run it would crunch slightly going into 4th no matter how much clutch I had in.

Went into Unique Autosports a couple of weeks later to get Redline stuff put into the diff and gearbox and I can't believe how smoother it is, gears go in so smooth, feels brand new.

Just wondering guys how much of this stuff will i need coz its comes in different amounts and varies of the gear box

(R33 GTST 1997)

[Tosh]

about 3 and a half litres

After you change the oil if it is still crunchy dont worry about it too much, it is very common and driving normally it shouldnt be too annoying, downshifting just double clutch if its that bad, but definetly dont go get the rebuilt just because of crucnhing, they are all like that

[Babylon]

yeah thanks

well thats the thing when im driving normally its all fine

just when im on high rev's like exiting the highway dropping from 5th to 4th is really the issue

but seems like its a common thing with these cars (judging from the feed)

[Tosh]

yeh it is mate

[Babylon]

well in a way thats good news means now i can afford to get a exhaust system

who hoooooooo

:kick:

[siksII]

double clutch when u downshift if u cant get it into gear (google it if u dont know what it is)

but still definetly change the gbox oil...u dont have to get redline but it seems to work (more or less got rid of crunching in my gtst box) very expensive though, u get it in 3.9L bottles and its $100-120

go to smithfield diff and gear, ask for anthony he will fix your box good as new for the best price in western suburbs.
