R32 Gearbox Stuffed?

[lwboosted]

hey all, i have a r32 gtst. and i think the gerbox or sincros are stuffed. changing from 1-2nd at high revs it crunches bad, real bad!!! it takes about 3 shots to get it into gear. but driving around normaly it is fine. some people have told me that it could be the clutch or bent clutch falk because it realeses right at the floor (is this normal in 32s) but there is no slippage. can anyone help me out?

i changed the gearbox oil to that redline stuff. it helped a bit but didnt fix the problem.

if it were the sincros whould it be cheaper to go for a new gearbox? and if so i heard that the rb25 box bolts straight up. is this true? and are these much stronger?

thanks leigh.

It doesnt matter where the clutch releases as you would have no idea if its aftermarket or not. Example - my r33 used to release real far out (almost at the end) though with a new excede heavy duty clutch it releases and grips real quick (same as yours). IF it doesnt slip most likely its not the clutch, though it could be worn. Best bet is to go speak to a gearbox shop near you, but be careful - theyre fairly expensive to rebuild.

i took it to a gearbox/clutch place today ad they told me that the clutch is fine..... the gearbox is stuffed. so i need a new box.

does anybody know weather a r33 box fits? if its much stronger and worth doing or not?

thanks 4 help
