I've had the same thing a few times recently, co-inciding with a cold snap of weather. Since i'm doing the clutch now, the box oil will be replaced with Redline lightweight shockproof at the same time, which i hope will help. If you're not already running a fully synthetic 75W-90 or shockproof in your box, it might be worth trying that out first. Synthetics perform much better at lower temperatures than minerals, and its a much cheaper option than pulling the box...

this has happend to me aswell it wouldnt go into gear even if the car was on or off. i tried everything and still no good. so i changed oils to see if it was the problem and it was. in my case the thiner the oil the better it got. so fully synthetic oil is the best way to go. if ur not sure and dont want to spend the money for it. test auto transmission oil the red stuff (not Recommended to drive with just to test if it goes in gear smooth then dump oil and get fully synthetic)

I had a similar problem with my gearbox...driving along and then got jammed in neutral in the middle of a gearchange. After a while (10 minutes or so) of trying it was ok again until the next day then it did the same thing. Unlike the problem JETR-32 had, I could work the gears fine with the car off...because the problem ended up in the clutch. Was caused by a busted spring from the centre plate of the clutch which stopped it from engaging to allow the gear change.

yeh someonestolecc i read ur post i think,

was getting another box ya only option?

how about gettin ya selector replaced/fixed?

anyone know the cost of getting that done????

For me it was. I don't know what it's called but the part in the box that sits around the axle thingy, it had actually been sheared off. I think because it was rubbing too hard so probably out of abuse from the previous owner in the form of not maintaining it properly.

I dono what it's called lol BHDave will know he took it out :D:D

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
