dezz Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ok guys here's the story Was at the SAU drag day on may6th...R33 GTS-T with full 3"...no other mods. Had the first run, no problems. On the second run, as I was approaching the end of the 400m, I was in third, and needed to select 4th before hitting the limiter...So i did. The stick sort of grinded and didnt come out of third, so i just thought i'd missed it, and backed off. As i was trying to slow down to take the exit, i tried to gear down into 2nd, and the same thing happened.... realising something was wrong and it was stuck in 3rd, I just drove it back to the parking area like that. A few of the SAU guys tried to get it into neutral, but it would not budge. anyway, towed it home and took it to a certain workshop on the monday. They took the box out and gave it to the "gearbox specialist" they use..."its worse than first thought" was what i got a few days later...apparently selector fork (which I was told by the SAU guys) and the "clutch hub assembly" between 3rd and 4th. Not knowing anythin about gearboxes, im just quoting what ive been told. anyway, fast forward 5 weeks, and basically nothing has been done. The reasons ive been given are the NISSAN themselves dont know what part it is, even having seeen the part in person etc. 5 weeks without the car, and no real progress being made, I should've posted this thread a long time ago, but my lack of knowledge on what part im asking about is what stopped me. I'm calling on anyone thats had this problem before (stuck in 3rd) and also anyone that knows their stuff as far as the R33 boxes go. I REALLY need the car back ASAP! Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry about the long post. But it should answer most questions straight up Cheers Dezz Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/122023-part-info-needed-asap/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It consists of the sliding sleeve, Baulk rings, synchro hub (which is splined to the output shaft), key inserts and insert springs. I'll have a look for p/no's when i get home, if you send me your vin number. For it to lock into 3rd gear id say the baulk ring has collapsed and the sliding sleeve has jammed onto the distorted baulk ring/hub.

dezz Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 someones just pointed out to me that on the fast diagram kjb_r33 provided me, it says "app date 95-01" now by 33 is a 1998 series 2...so is there a different diagram for mine in fast? the workshop is telling me that nissan australia says the part number in fast is incorrect, and doesnt match the part i need... in the pic, its the part highlighted in green, under the 4 other green part numbers...its 32608+B part number - 32609-70L20 im DESPERATE now and REALLY REALLY need this sorted out and fixed ASAP. if anyone has good contacts in nissan, and can help me out, id be VERY VERY grateful!
