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.

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.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
