Hi guys and gals,
Anyone one know how to diagnose gearbox problems out there?
My 33 GTR (only recently purchased) has a gearbox issue.
Hard to get into 1st gear.
When cold almost impossible (hard to get into any gear), so I have to "force" it into 4th gear and then I can slip it into 1st.
When at normal temp it is easy to get into any gear but a lot of the time still hard to get into 1st.
This is all while car is stationary. Once moving easy to get into all gears at all times.
So my work around is to either slip it into 1st just before cars stops moving (if I come up to a stop sign)
or if stopped at lights I slip it into 4th and then straight into 1st (goes into 1st really easy using both methods)
I have changed gearbox oil and still same
Any ideas
Do you think gearbox or clutch problem?
I have one of those cheap "purple" clutches. Heavy duty but cheap...can't think of the name at the mo.
The only thing that points me to a clutch problem is that from cold it makes a bit of a bearing noise on first take off and
you can feel a vibration thru the pedal.
Goes away after that.
Any ideas???
Please
