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??

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
