i change 3rd to 4th gearr fast the gears crunch

Does it happent when you change up at a reasonable pace? it could be the synchros (but it shouldn' be)... depends on what you call 'fast'

but before pointing at the synchros, first get your cluth seen to...

it its slipping... its probably worn. and when you get your clutch replaced, it will (should) include the pressure plate.

Although I don't understand 'only slipping in 3rd'... but if the clutch is consistently slipping, fix it.

I think 2nd and 3rd have double synchros, 4th and 5th dont, but the 4-5 change is a smaller ratio. It could be the clutch isn't completley disengaging - but even with the clutch disengaged, the synchros still need time to spin everything up to speed.

After all that armchair diagnosis, I warn you that I am mereley an computer geek with just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

just take it easy on the 3-4 (and 4-5 I'd guess, if you could get it fast enough) changes, and get your clutch seen to when you can. the clutch _may_ be causing the secondary issues (not completley engaging / disengaging).

there should be no need to go from 3-4 fast - I can pull onto the freeway in 2nd (100), and 3rd goes to 150. Take it easy with your car - and what exactly is it? GT-T or GTR?

its a gtt and it only happens when i punch the accelerater and change gears reasnobly fast at around 3-4rpm and also it slips in 2nd sumtime or 3rd but when im in 3rd and im just creeping to 80 in 3rd it doesnt do it but it kind of clicks into 4th gear.? oooohhhh and also wat i mean by fast is when im at a highspeed like above 80 i have to hold the cluthch in for abit longer so it doesnt crunch?

clutch or synchros - you want more than that, take it to a mechanic.

and if the clutch _is_ having issues - fix that first. Then come back if there are still issues.

test the clutch. pull onto the freeway in 2nd, give it heaps. make sure you DON'T lose traction... if your clutch will slip, you should feel it.

thats about all I can help with - find a mate who knows cars and take them for a spin, or just go to the mechanic...

There could be many reasons for the crunch, as long as the clutch is suspect, there is no point speculating.

--> bye

i got the problem checked out at dandy gearbox n clutch specialist today they found out that my 4th gear synchro is on its way out and the clutch still has abit of bite in it which they say, just letting everyone know that i got quoted $1800 including an excedy clutch, and a 4th gear rebuilt farking expensive shit..... the clutch alone costs $1100 :( and the 4th gear rebuilt including stripping the box apart and putting new oil in $700 and they give me a warranty on the 4th gear but not the clutch.

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
