Hey my gearbox is crunching every now and then, when shifting up to 3rd or 4th (sometimes when driving hard; other times when crusing) ... i am thinkin maybe my syncros are going?

I plan on changing the gearbox oil this weekend and seeing how that goes.. however if this doesnt cure my problem, what am I looking at for a repair cost??

sncryo's + labour?

rebuild of the gearbox?

new gearbox?

just so i can see what the best option i can take is..

Do yourself a cheap quick and easy favour and buy some "Redline Shockproof Lightweight Gear Oil". Put that in, give it a solid 500-700km of driving and then count the dolars you saved on that rebuild.

www.uas.com.au sell/deliver the oil. Call john and mention this to him and I doubt you'll get off the phone in under 10mins :cheers:

I never used to have any crunches but since my car got a high idle (upto1900rpm) i find it hard to change from first to second without sum difficulty and a bit of a clunking feeling thru the gear shift. It only happens up gears really and mostly between 1st and 2nd..Sumtimes 2nd to 3rd. Would the high idle cause this in anyway? If not would the shockproof fix it?

Thanks,

Deren

well i picked up some redline shockprrof on friday... got under the car today and tried to undo the top plug, with no luck... i huff n i puffed to no avail.

There seems to be some kind of silicone compound sealing the top bolt in. Can anyone let me know how to loosen this up? or do i have to hire a body builder for 5 minutes?

If worst comes to worst how much will a workshop charge me to hoist it up and do the change for me (noting that i will supply them the parts)

Everyone at UAS said the shockproof will fix it.

Mine still crunches in high revs post shockproof, what really helped however was them also bolting in my clutch slave in properly :cheers:

If your syncros are buggered I doubt oil will fix it, if you haven't changed oils for a while then you have a good chance any oil change will help it :)

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
