Loud Grind And Refused To Go In :/

Hey,

Was overtaking a car in 2nd gear, roughly 4000-5000rpm, decided to go into 4th gear and skip 3rd after overtake.

Clutch in, out of 2nd easily, neutral and press down into 4th, slow gear change.

As i pulled down to 4th, heard a massive grind and it didnt want to go into 4th. As soon as i heard the loud noise, put it back into neutral and rolled a bit and then into 3rd no worries.

Could smell something too after the loud grind, probably the clutch being pressed in for too long?

Are my Syncro's GG'd? or did the clutch play in this too...

Anyone know why it didnt want to go into 4th + loud grind :)

Gearbox is fine now and all gear's work.

Occasionally i have trouble down shifting into 2nd, as in it doesnt want to go in :)

Cheers

clutch was all the way in and no chance it was reverse. This is what confuses me..anyone have any more ideas?

Other things which may/may not relate;

- Occasionally have trouble putting reverse gear in.

- One time, my clutch pedal stayed half way in and had to press it a few times until it popped out to full length.

- 2nd gear cant be used in mornings until car warms up

- stock clutch also

cheers

i'd be looking at the hydraulics for the clutch

clutch pedal only going halfway in = get clutch serviced by mechanic. like race bred said maybe your hydraulics are shot.

as far as the grinding into 4th goes, most RB boxes have this problem. mine's a minter and even with new synthetic oil in it still grinds into 5th at high revs (4th is OK since the oil change though).

if RB synchros on 4th and 5th aren't brilliant then skipping a gear will only make life harder for them.

does it do it every single time, or sumtimes yes sumtimes no ???

maybe u gotta bleed the clutch, air cud be in your lines. U checkd the reserve,, mite be low.

if reserve ok, next time try givin it a lil rev b4 u slot in gear, if it feels it goes in better ur sync mite be goin bad.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
