Hi guys,

i have a heavy duty clutch and i've been having difficulties changing gears from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Everytime i change it, it just feels like there is something obstructing the motion.

For eg. from 1st to 2nd, MID-WAY through the 2nd gear, it feels like i'm forcing it down. Does anyone know what's wrong with that?

Does anyone have experienced gearbox problems and are there any remedy to this problem besides ripping the whole gearbox out?

My gear selector is rooted I think, I have to select 3rd and 4th before any other gear coz it just doesn't get in there!

also, the gears crunch when I change from 4-5th at high speeds

I am about to do a gearbox oil change soon to see if that a problemo

I notice for skylines, from 1st to 2nd gear, you have to shift it towards the left then down to 2nd. Does it happen to you guys as well? 4th to 5th for me is pretty smooth...just the 1st into 2nd..sometimes 2nd to 3rd...but i do agree if you warm the car up longer, it won't happen as much...

I have a 95 gtst and have the same problem, if i try to change from first to second after only driving for a few minutes it makes a cruching/metal scraping noise. I need to change to 2nd via nuetral to avoid the grinding, thi never happened until i got the car serviced and the gearbox oil was changed, do u reckon it could be cheap oil or something?

mines like that too been doing it since i changed the last clutch. theres a catch to changing it from first to second , a little to the left and gently. thats the sincro s wearing, and i tell you the one from first to second is not cheap to replace.. so be gentle with it guys

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
