Babylon Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 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: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 before you do that, what Gear Oil are you using? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1105555 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1105593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1105625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Step 1: Change your gearbox oil, replacing it with Redline shockproof. You may well find this solves your problem.

CerealKiller Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 yeah ill do that striaght awaybut 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/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1105722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezertEagle Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 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.

siksII Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1106967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1107059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siksII Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/57246-need-a-mechanic-for-gearbox/#findComment-1107294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
