Bough a second hand gearbox today and guy said it was fine. Anyway, cleaned the outside a bit and emptied transfer case fluid and gearbox oil out.

On the gearbox magnetic drain plug there was a couple of metal clips about 4mm long with the smaller bits that had broken off the clips.

Would anyone know what part they would of come from? I'm guessing part of the synchros?

I'm going to pull apart box and check it out when I have some spare time.

Here's roughly what they look like, don't have camera atm!

Pretty sure they go on the selector forks. you may have a snapped selector floating around in there or at least these little bits have fallen off. not sure what harm if any would be done by running without them, but if you have the will and the time I'd say opening the box wouldn't be a bad idea.

yeah they are. but what i dont get is how do they "fall" out

I have never come across this before!! I'm gonna check out the manual to see exactly where they go.

There were only two clips that were on the mag plug and the little tabs that can off with em.

Guess they didn't like their home!!

You have a few broken "paws" and retainers there.

Interesting part is how the hell did they got out of the hub without the hub phsically breaking apart of the baulk ring shattering.

Beats the hell out of me. Had a look at parts breakdown and they are inside the hub like you said.....

I'm just not looking forward to pulling apart another gbox. Pulled transfer case off my first blown gbox(blew 3rd) and haven't touched it since(lazy).

I bought gbox thinking it's ok after running through the gears and turning shaft. The guy said it's okay, but they all get a flogging.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
