as u will all no from my previous topics about r33's... im not all that mechanical n stuff.. but heres my problem anyway...

tonight driving home from work.. as im shifting up/down and throwing it in first gear on take off.. its really really stiff.. as if its like it doesnt want to go in.. and its only getting slowly worse n worse.. and onnly recently.. everytime i let go of the clutch.. theres a noise on idle.. like a hissing noise.. and everytime i put my leg back down on the clutch its gone..

does this mean my gearbox is gone.. or on its way? or is it something smaller.. such as maybe gearbox/ clutch oil???

anyone have suggestions/ideas on what this could/ couldnt be???

some advise would be really good.. rather than someone telling me shit i dont need to hear...! thanks guys

changing oil in box may help with stiff shifts

the noise that is there with clutch out but goes away when clutch is in is most likely from your thrust bearing, cheap part to replace but you have to pull the whole box out to get to it (ie a $30 part with $350 labour to replace...unless your doing it yourself). Personally I wouldn't worry about the thrust bearing, the noise while annoying won't damage your box, just replace it when your clutch goes
