Help, Gearbox Blowing Smoke

[Cro_boy_Mario]

hey poeple

i have a 96 r33 gts4

while driving home on sat nite, my gearbox started to blow smoke thru the gearboot, after stopping to see if it kept going it stopped, it seems to only smoke while driving and when hot, so im not sure what the prob is, and its coming from the rubber surround around the gearstick and doesnt smell like oil, but smells like rubber

does anyone know what could be happening as im bit freekd out if the car just stops, because of this smoke

thanks for any help

Had the same prob in my silvia - it was a blocked gearbox breather hose. I tended to notice on the freeway the smoke coming into the cabin.

Pretty sure skylines have the same setup although I havn't looked underneath mine yet!
