Gear Box Noises On Skylines

Hi guys,

i just fitted a new H/D clutch and changed my gearbox oil (Redline). However, i noticed that my gearbox sounds pretty loud. It's the grinding sound that i know you normally hear but i feel that mine is exceptionally loud!

The clutch sounds loud as well when i release the clutch to neutral, only when i 'clutch in' then the sound goes away.

Is anyone going through the same situation as i am or it's pretty much normal or i can do something to decrease the noise besides increasing the volume of my stereo?

was it just a heavy clutch or a twin plate. if it is a twin plate, then they always make noise. if it was just a heavy single then the noise is most likely a noisey input bearing. i have the sound noise and thats what i got it diagnosed as.

What type of noise is it.. rumbling?.. whining??..

Sounds like it's probably on the input shaft bearing if it's when clutch is out in neutral..

Mines currently got a similar issue, however 20x worse.. sounds like i've got straight cut gears..

Yes links it's the whining noise. Sometimes u can hear it when u release the throttle. How bad is yours?

Is there any way at all to fix it?

No mate you'll be allright, I have the same problem and most of the people I know it is a bit annoying but you get use to it i suppose.

It can go for years apparently until it finally dies on you, and if you are smart you would have saved some money and get an RB25 second hand gearbox put in. apparently they are tougher than RB20's.

Sorry for the late reply..

Mine is really loud on acceleration/deceleration.. so whenever you put load on it really..

You could look at recoing the gearbox.. no point replacing an input shaft bearing and that's it as they need to remove the front bell housing off..

$400 labour to pull it down..

$300 labour to reco gearbox

+ parts..

2nd hand R33 gearbox - try $1400 in unknown state.. so see how annoying it is..

Than again.. with these things you never know what it could be.. maybe goto a gearbox specialist and get a recommendation..

With the clutch in.. e.g. foot on pedal.. and free revving it - can you hear it??..

Also - in 1st/2nd.. rolling down a hill with the clutch in.. can you hear it??..

I don't drive an r 32, i've got a 34 :) but i don't think a 33 gear box can fit into a 34?

Well.. I would.. but my one got replaced about 300kms ago..

I've got a rattling/squeaking thrust bearing as well.. but it appears to be going away as it maybe grooves in or something.. not sure what the hell is up..

does the rattling go away when you depress the clutch pedal??

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000

      Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward.
